Ground Turkey Breast Chili

Ground turkey breast is seasoned with ancho chili, smoked paprika, chipotle chili, and chili powders, along with salt and pepper to taste. saute in lots of garlic and onion and add blended Italian stewed tomatoes blended with one pasilla pepper and then add kidney beans and canellini beans, although I accidentally opened a can of garbanzo beans - but it tasted just as delicious.

Relish: Saute garlic and roast corn, mix roasted corn in bowl with finely chopped red onion, cilantro and about 1/2 a pasilla pepper. Add lemon juice
and salt and enjoy!

Spinach Salad

Very Healthy & Delicious

Chicken: Sauteed chicken that was seasoned overnight with Italian Herbs

Salad: Spinach leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots & avocado with light garlic balsamic dressing.

Stuffed Cabbage

Stuffing: Ground turkey breast seasoned with paprika, pepper, salt, Italian Seasoning (love it!) then add diced yams & spinach.

Cabbage: separate the leaves (try to keep them as big as possible) then blanch them.

Roll turkey meat into blanched leaves & keep doing that until you run out of stuffing. Then top with blended stewed Italian tomatoes.

Enjoy with rice :)

Baked Apples & Blueberries

If you want as a topping to your pancake or with icecream or simply to enjoy by itself, this mix is easy & delicious.

Cut apple in wedges, mix blueberries & season with nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice, & sugar. Mix well & add a tiny bit of butter and bake.

Eggplant Lasagna

Very Yummy!!!!!!

This one takes a little bit more effort.

Meat: Season ground turkey breast by sauteing garlic, onion, tomato, ground pepper, salt, & Italian seasoning.

Eggplant: Slice, then dip in egg, then into Italian seasoned bread crumbs. Because I try to be somewhat healthy, I only saute/lightly fry only one side of the eggplant. Do this until you have enough.

Then layer it with breaded side up --> first layer egg plant, second layer ground turkey, & repeat. Top with 1849 pasta sauce & finish "cooking" in the oven (it's technically all cooked, but i still like to do this as i think flavors keep blending better. Note: no cheese! just a little bit of parmesan on the top. I'm sure it will taste even more delicious if you lightly add shredded mozzarella.

Then serve with a side of pasta with same 1849 sauce.

Chicken "Stew"

Very simple!

Cube chicken breast & marinate with: Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, fresh ground pepper & Italian seasoning.

To cook you can do it in a pan or in a crock pot or in the oven. I like the oven b/c it's less clean up.

So all I do is add minced garlic & chopped onion & then mix everything. (this variation has diced Yukon potatoes, diced yams, and green beans) & one can of blended Italian Stewed Tomatoes.

40 minutes later, you have a meal. I have a Krups Toaster Oven (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41RC9H8XQBL._SL500_AA280_.jpg) so it's convenient & faster then the big oven.

Peppercorn & Herb Chicken with Mushrooms, Harvest Blend & Basil Green Beans

Chicken: In a tiny bowl add some black peppercorn, rosemary, oregano, basil & salt - then mix all those dry ingredients well. Prepare your chicken breast and then add the mix on both sides and saute in a pan with olive oil (i tend to use garlic flavored olive oil 99% of the time) and brown both sides. Once both sides are brown add 1 tablespoon of butter (i use Smart Balance) and add sliced mushroom, chicken broth and 2 tablespoon of fresh cream and mix very well and cover. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens (about 20 -30 minutes).

Harvest Blend is from trader joes and it consist of orzo (green & red), baby garbanzo bean & red quinoa. Bring water to boil and then add the desired amount. I season with salt, saffron and italian seasoning and a tiny bit of olive oil, then cover and watch it grow!

Green beans: Very easy, just wash green beans very well, add basil, salt, pepper and sliced garlic then bake for 30 minutes and wallah! Very yummy.

Turkey Patties w/ Rice & Beans

Turkey Patties: Mix finely chopped onion, tomatoes and semi cooked spinach (chopped also) into ground turkey meat and season with salt, pepper & paprika. Mix well (with hand is best) and form into patties and cook in a non stick pan (i use a little bit of olive oil).

Rice & Beans: Saute chopped garlic, onion and green bell pepper and season with cumin & salt, then add rice and mix well until you hear it sizzle then add water. Once rice is 90 - 95% cooked, add black beans (along with some of the juices in the can) and mix well and turn heat to low to finish it off.

Sauce on top is made from yesterday's left over tomato (from coring them), I put that in a blender, add 1/8 tsp of ancho chilies, 1/8 of chipotle chiles, 1/2 bunch of cilantro, about 1/8 of an onion and salt to taste. Boil everything and reduce down. I had very juice tomatoes so it was a very watery sauce at first, but after an hour of boiling, it got to a nice consistency.

As always, enjoy with a nice side salad.

Stuffed Tomatoes with Orzo

Stuffed Tomatoes: Core tomatoes (make sure they are nice and large) and place in a pyrex and fill with ground turkey veggie mix.

Ground Turkey Veggie Mix: Saute finely chopped garlic, onion and some of the tomato that was cored out (Note: you will have lots of tomato left over that can be used for another delicious dish), then add the 99%fat free turkey (basically a ground turkey breast) and season with salt, pepper, Italian Seasoning, paprika and worcestershire sauce. As meat is cooking you add carrots, peas and mushrooms (carrots and mushrooms are chopped pretty small - same size as the mini peas), then cook meat thoroughly and transfer mix into each tomato (even if carrots and peas are still not cooked - they will finish cooking as you will then bake everything for 30 minutes).

Orzo: Saute in garlic infused olive oil fresh Garlic and fresh tomatoes (used some from the tops of the tomatoes) and season with Italian Seasoning, Salt & Pepper and Mix in cooked orzo and fresh spinach along with Parmesan cheese.

I also like to sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the entire dish before I enjoy - not pictured as Daniel doesn't eat too much cheese as it keeps the dish healthier :o)

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffing: Saute chopped onions and tomatoes, once they are cooked, toss in turkey (I always use ground turkey breast meat as it's 99% fat free), then season with salt, pepper, paprika and italian seasoning. Once it's almost cooked, add chopped potatoes & carrots. Wait until carrots and potatoes are mostly cooked then add cilantro. Stuff the peppers and place in a pyrex/baking dish and add 1 can of stewed tomatoes (blended) and bake for 30 minutes.

Serve with Rice (in the picture is Spanish Rice - see other entry for preparation instructions) and as always add a nice side salad.

Green Sauce Enchiladas

Enchiladas: Shred chicken (left over chicken is perfect for this dish or you can buy rotisserie or just boil chicken as you make chicken soup!) In a pan saute chopped onion, chopped tomatoes or use 1 can of stew tomatoes (chopped finely), add shredded chicken with salt, pepper, & paprika, let everything cook together & then add chopped cilantro and secret ingredient - spinach! Microwave tortillas for ~30 seconds (3 at a time - to make soft) then add chicken, roll, and put them in a baking dish (pyrex), once you've build the quantity you want, open a desired enchilada sauce and pour all over. Finally add shredded cheese (low fat) & bake for 15 minutes (or until sauce is hot & cheese has melter)

For presentation, top with diced fresh tomato, mint leaf and a last squirt of lemon juice.

I don't measure my seasoning, so my advice is to just go with your gut feeling "to taste" or do pinches
