Pesto Pasta Primavera

Amazing pasta dish, great for getting a good mix of carbs and protein Sauce: Olive Oil 16 garlic cloves chopped or pressed 1 Onion diced 1 Bell pepper chopped Lots of spinach (used about 12 cups or 1 bag) Sliced mushrooms Prepared Pesto Skim Ricotta Cheese Ground turkey 96/4 (cook in other pan, drain, add to sauce when complete) Season with sea salt, pepper and red pepper Prepare pasta of your choice while sauce cooks. We use protein pasta. Once veggies are simmered add 1/8 cup pesto per serving to sauce. Cook additional 5 min till warmed. Add ricotta and cook a few additional minutes till warm.

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.
