RECIPES

Three Bean Turkey Breakfast Chili

Great for breakfast or anytime--loads of protein and fiber, keeps blood sugar steady. I like it with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.

Chocolate Chickpea Cake

From Seriouseats.com: This is a very dense, not-too-sweet cake with a nice chocolatey flavor. It's also pretty healthy, packing tons of fiber from the garbanzos and protein from the eggs, and is actually a really nice breakfast sweet. It keeps well in the fridge, wrapped airtight, and toasts up nicely.

green smoothie

green smoothie/use banana and a pear or an apple. Handful of greens, a stalk celery. Honey for sweetness.

Susan's Famous Meatloaf

The secret ingredient is stuffing mix--and no tomato, my family doesn't care for it. Simple and delish--add your own tomato if you want it.

Vinagrette-Penzey's Greek

Use Penzey's Greek Seasoning to make--could only find the garden salad seasoning listed, the info is probably similiar

Creamy Polenta

Creamy cheesy polenta; great as an alternative to mashed potatoes, terrific chilled, then sliced & fried for breakfast side to eggs.

Turkey Bean Chili

ground turkey & beans provides tasty protein/fiber blood sugar balance

Turkey Shepherd Pie

Use leftovers to make tasty casserole. I used a box of baby spinach, fresh onions, carrots, celery & leftover mashed potatoes.

Spicy Red Lentil Dal w/Winter Veg [Fine Cooking]

Spicy, delicious vegetable stew with red lentils, carrots, cauliflower, onion & potato. Very warming, good winter dish. Serve with a fragrant Jasmine or basmati rice. [Rice not in the calorie calculations]
