Turkey Burgers

Great alternative to regular hamburgers... 1 lb. 97/3 ground turkey season with: chipotle seasonings flavored bread crumbs sea salt pepper top grilled buns with: grilled onions & mushrooms Layer buns w/ onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, sliced avocado, diced canned green chilies, low fat pepper jack cheese. This can definitely be made kid friendly by substituting the chipotle seasoning for another seasoning such as Lipton onion soup mix. Sub out pepper jack for cheddar or American cheese.

Mexican/ Lime/ Coconut Chicken & Pasta

BUT, the perks are, at least 1 or 2 additional dinners are ready and waiting in your freezer for you! Ingredients in today's recipe 2 large sweet onions, diced 25-30 cloves garlic (like I mentioned before, I am a garlic freak. Just found you can buy pre-peeled cloves in a giant jar at Costco.) Fresh or dried Basil Fresh of dried Parsley Olive Oil Salt & Pepper Sugar (1/8 cup for sauce, 2 T for Ricotta) Crushed Red Pepper 1 package fresh broccoli florettes (diced in food processor) Spinach - hard to estimate how much I used, but I used a lot.
