Turkey Recipes
Unstuffed Cabbage
While vacationing in Rhode Island recently, Mary Jane from Lebanon noticed a recipe in “Newport This Week” and passed it along to me. She thought this quicker version of a time consuming classic had the potential to be delicious, but had not yet made it. The simple preparation of this seasonal dinner appealed to me…
Overnight Lasagna (Turkey and Greens with Options)
If you prefer a saucy lasagna with a light ricotta layer, this recipe is for you. Plus, there’s no need to precook the noodles and the recipe makes one for now, one for later—or one to share with a friend! I love a good lasagna, but it always seems like a big production. I hit…
Turkey Cobb Salad with Honey Orange Poppy Seed Dressing
Do you ever eat a meal at a restaurant and want to replicate it at home? Do you often think that salads you eat at a restaurant taste better than what you make at home? My friends and I have joked many times that food always tastes better when someone else makes it for you!…
Whole Wheat Cheddar Chicken (or Turkey) Quesadillas
It’s always fun to strike upon a new way of using something. In my kitchen, this often happens out of desperation, like when I lack the right ingredient and the time (or desire) to go to the store! A favorite twist I stumbled upon a few months ago was using pita bread instead of tortillas…
Southwestern Chicken (or Turkey) Quesadilla Salad
Hearty quesadillas transform this flavorful salad into a satisfying meal – and the quesadillas require just three basic ingredients! My make-at-home version of one of my all-time favorite restaurant salad dates back to my early twenties. Suffice it to say, this salad has stood the test of time! I usually make it when I…
Greek Pasta Skillet
I like to keep a package of fresh pasta and a package of sausage–turkey, chicken or pork are all good options–in my refrigerator for a quick, easy meal. These two ingredients, paired with any number of vegetables, cheeses, and herbs can be the foundation for what is essentially a delicious pasta stir fry. Since the…
Barbecue Turkey Meatloaf Muffins
Meatloaf in muffin form offers a “just right” bite that’s fun to eat and can be frozen for a speedy protein addition to any meal. This flavorful take on the classic meatloaf was inspired a while back by some leftover homemade barbecue sauce. While I often use dry oats as a binder, you may also experiment…
Greek Sausage and Egg Skillet
Fast food without the drive-thru. It can seriously happen…and taste better and cost less. For me, getting dinner on the table every night often involves creative use of leftovers or a simple meal of fresh ingredients. Pulled together in the right way, this can be both healthy and very satisfying. The ingredients for this meal,…
Slow Cooker Turkey Tenderloin with Wild Rice and Butternut Squash
Hearty, wholesome, and hands off, this all-in-one slow cooker meal is perfect comfort food throughout the colder months. Out of the crock pot and onto the plate. Dinner tonight was as easy as it was delicious. It had everything in it – juicy, tender turkey for filling protein, wild rice for high-quality carbs, colorful…
Baked Fusilli with Asiago
This is the last–for a little while, anyway–in my string of recipes using Basic Marinara Sauce. (Another delicious and easy dinner using a portion of this sauce is Sausage, Pepper and 2-Cheese Pizza.) The following baked pasta dish is unique in that the meat does not have to be sauteed prior to mixing with the pasta. The…
