[ourdayourjourney]

my 17 month old has finally started eating ground turkey. he is on a high protein diet without egg or milk protein. i can make 2 meals from a package of ground turkey and i am cooking the same meals week after week. I need a little help bringing in some new meals. i have been cooking:
turkey meatballs
italian wedding soup
traditional chili
turkey tacos
shepherds pie

thank you kindly,
christine

Sloppy Joes - my toddler likes his mixed with mashed potatoes
meat loaf - some recipes do not include egg

Not sure what this is called, but it is my go-to meal when I am not feeling inspired to cook. Saute garlic and onions in olive oil. Brown the turkey. Throw in frozen spinach, a can of diced tomatoes. Let simmer awhile. You can serve this over rice or with noodles (if you use noodles it's kind of like a homemade hamburger helper, I guess).

Oh, there is also a great turkey picadillo recipe that I got out of Cooking Light several years ago..

Very easy and WONDERFUL with a simple salad of mango, avocado and grape tomatoes.

Dim sum! Ground turkey makes great Chinese dumplings.

Oh yay! I'm glad they liked it! My girls love it too! I originally got it out of the magazine and it was paired with the mango salad I mentioned. The flavors work REALLY well together.

2 1/2 cups chopped,peeled mango
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 cup chopped peeled avocado
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 T fresh cilantro
2 T lime juice
1/2 t salt

Toss and chill.


SO yummy! I tend to double this, as everyone LOVES it.
