Grill Packets by Erin Birch

Easy and my twins can eat a whole packet themselves then want more!!! 
 
Ingredients:
-          1 package of Jenni-O (or whatever brand you like) Fully Cooked Lean Turkey Kielbasa sliced
-          1 small head of green cabbage
-          2 cans of sliced white potatoes (this is a time savor…you can also peel/parboil/slice 2 baking potatoes)
-          1 small sliced onion
-          4 tabs of butter
-          ½ tsp of black pepper
-          ½ tsp of garlic powder
-          1 tsp of paprika
-          Dijon mustard to taste
-          Aluminum foil
-          Pam
 
Heat grill on medium low.  Tear 4 sheets of foil…about 12 inches (you are going to fill these and then close them up so make sure you leave enough room) and spray with Pam.  Fill each foil packet with cabbage, butter, onions, potatoes, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and turkey…wrap it up and fold to seal. Place on grill for 6-8 minutes and turn, cook for another 6-8 minutes.  Make sure all packets are warm and cabbage is cooked.   
Empty packets into serving dish (our family put a little Dijon mustard in and mixes it, but you may just put it on the side).  Enjoy!!!

Load up your burger with stuffing, turkey patty, mayo and cranberry sauce between two toasted buns.

Turkey Sloppy Joes by Erin Birch

This is an easy weekday meal by Rachel Ray...so the turkey sloppy joes aren't so bad for you, but you could add a little cheese to some fries for a "comfort food." J


Turkey Sloppy Joes


Ingredients


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 package, 1 1/3 pounds, ground turkey breast or lean ground turkey
1/2 red onion
1/2 red bell pepper
1 tablespoon grill seasoning blend (I use McCormick Montreal Grill Seasoning)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomato sauce,( 8- ounce) can


Cheese Fries, recipe follows


Directions


Place a big skillet over medium high heat. Add some extra-virgin olive oil, add the ground turkey to the pan and brown.


Chop up red onion and red bell pepper. Add the veggies to the cooking meat and stir it all together. Pour the sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire and seasoning evenly over the meat and stir everything together really well. Turn the heat down to simmer and cook the sloppy mixture for 10 minutes. Serve on a whole wheat crusty bun.


Cheese Fries (so you could make Kathryn's home fries and add the cheese sauce!!!)


Directions


1 sack frozen French fries, any brand or shape -
crinkle cut, thin cut, steak cut, waffle fries - prepared to package directions
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1 ½ cups milk


2 ½ cups (10 oz) cheddar cheese


3 squirts ketchup (1/4 cup)


In saucepan over medium heat, add butter and melt it. Add the flour and stir. Cook butter and flour together for 1 minute or
so. This is called "roux" and it helps to thicken up sauces. Use a whisk to stir as the milk goes into the pot. Keep stirring until the milk
gets thicker. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the cheese. When all of the cheese melts, take the sauce off the heat and stir in 3 squirts of ketchup. This is
your SECRET ingredient. Pour the sauce over the fries or serve the sauce on the side if you like to dipping
better.

1 onion
4 garlic cloves
3 tsp oregano
2 Tb parmesan cheese
2 Tb breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pound ground turkey


finely chop onion and heat over medium in 1 Tb of olive oil, until soft but not brown (8-10 min)
add minced garlic and oregano
put all into a bowl with parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and turkey
add salt and pepper
mix together and form 24 meatballs by rolling mixture in your hands
brown in batches in oil turning often (6-10 minutes)


I love to make this recipe and sometimes double it so I can freeze some meatballs for another easy dinner. Serve over whole wheat egg noodles with a green vegtable and the kids will love it! It is also easy to take a few meatballs out of the freezer and reheat in the microwave to feed lunch to our little ones.
