Turkey-Veggie Burgers (GF)

By Kelly · 18 Comments


Don’t be tempted to compromise your health by succumbing to the convenience of fast food. With a little planning ahead (meal planning, that is), you can make your own homemade burgers and freeze them for nights when you’re pressed for time.

And making fast REAL food, is not only substantially healthier, but it’s also more economical too! Personally, we think these burgers are the bomb! If you’re in the mood to go big, serve them up with a side of healthier fries and a big scoop of my secret ingredient guacamole!

Time-Saving Tip: This is one of three quick-n-easy ground turkey recipes that you can prepare all at the same time and then freeze them to have ready-to-go meals for busy days. For details, check out “Turkey Times Three (T3).”

  • 1 1/4 lb of ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped organic zucchini
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp fresh-ground pepper
  • Optional: Homemade Guacamole

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and add about one tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté finely chopped onion, carrot, zucchini and garlic until soft (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Place ground turkey in large mixing bowl and add seasonings. Add veggies to the turkey and allow to cool a minute.
  3. Using your hands, combine all ingredients until well incorporated.
  4. Form into patties and grill over medium-high heat. (Or you can individually wrap uncooked patties and store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer. Be sure to allow frozen burgers to thaw overnight in frig before grilled.)
  5. Serve burgers with a big scoop of homemade guacamole, if desired.

Time-Saving Tip – Turkey Times Three (T3)

By Kelly · 2 Comments


I just love cooking with my boys! It’s amazing the number of ways they contribute to the development of better tasting recipes!

Here are three recipes you can create at the same time that are certain to not only save you time, but also give you and your family some delicious healthy options for three favorite traditional comfort foods! And they freeze great too, so don’t risk turkeying-out your family by serving all three in the same week!

T3 is the result of an “ah ha” moment during a cooking session with my youngest son. We were making our usual turkey-veggie burgers and meatballs together (which I thought was such a brilliant use of time), when he said, “Mom, why don’t you try making a meatloaf out of this stuff?” This kid is a genius!

Thus, T3 was born! Since then, we now happily squish and squash our ground turkey into these three wonderful concoctions and freeze it for those days when we’re craving some good old-fashioned comfort food! Yet another reason why I truly believe getting your kids in the kitchen is such a wonderful blessing!

So here’s how T3 works … it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1)   Simply triple the turkey-veggie burger recipe and once you’ve got it made,

2)   Divide the massive meat-mixture into three relatively-equal portions. One portion will be for your burgers, while the other two portions will be used to make the meatballs and meatloaf.

3)   Just add the remaining ingredients to the two portions dedicated to meatballs and meatloaf, as outlined in the recipes, and you’ve got T3 – three delicious meals ready to go! Now that’s what I call a time saver!

Here are the recipes … Happy squishing and squashing! For more time-saving tips, check out “Cook Once, Eat Twice or More.”

Herb Roasted Drumsticks & Veggies (GF)

By Kelly · 22 Comments


A simply delicious and frugal dinner! So versatile, you can use virtually any of your favorite veggies, such as those listed below, or other favorites like butternut squash, cauliflower, parsnips, etc. Just be sure to cut the veggies accordingly, so they’ll cook evenly alongside the chicken.


Lightly brush both sides of the drumsticks with the herb-oil mixture. Then, lightly sprinkle with additional sea salt.


Arrange veggies on baking sheet alongside the chicken and onion wedges and roast until chicken is cooked through.

Herb Roasted Drumsticks & Veggies (GF)

Yield: 4-5

Herb Roasted Drumsticks & Veggies (GF)

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp dried Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 6-8 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
  • 8-10 small organic potatoes, quartered (we like to use a potato medley)
  • 4 medium organic carrots, cut into 2” pieces
  • 2 medium organic zucchini, cut into 3” pieces
  • Half of a medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered
  • 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Place drumsticks and onion wedges on a foil-lined, large-rimmed baking sheet (12x17) and lightly brush both sides with the herb-oil mixture. Then, lightly sprinkle chicken with additional sea salt.
  2. Next, add one additional tablespoon of olive oil to the remaining herb-oil mixture. Add the veggies and garlic halves to the bowl and toss well to coat. Arrange veggies on baking sheet alongside the chicken and onion wedges, as shown in photo below.
  3. Roast 40-45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Serve with a big salad and buttermilk biscuits with butter! Mmm!
