I have a potluck at work tomorrow (last minute planning) and I have been asked to bring in a protien dish.

Luckily most of us in the office are health conscience so the healthier the better!!!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    I recently did a lunch potluck at work and brought pulled pork that I cooked in a crockpot and tossed with BBQ sauce. Would work with chicken too.

    Also, could do a chicken chili in the crockpot.

    I am a big fan of crockpot cooking for potlucks!

    I think chicken or pork dropped in a crockpot with some seasonings and you are good to go!!

    Thanks for the suggestions guys!

    Pork is unfortunately out of the question because a lot of my coworkers are Muslim.

    I think I am going to make baked spinach/chicken balls. :)

    Turkey Chili?


    2 lb. lean ground turkey (you can switch out 1 lbs. of meat for a can of kidney beans if you like)
    1 med. yellow onion
    2 cloves chopped garlic
    3 sliced carrots ( I actually use a bag of baby carrots but it all depends on if you really like carrots that much)
    1 small bag/box of frozen corn
    1-28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
    1-8 oz. can tomato sauce
    2 tablespoons Chili Powder
    1 tsp. cumin
    1 tsp. Red Pepper flakes
    Salt & Pepper to taste

    Chop the onion and use half of it to brown the turkey. Once you've browned it and drained it throw the other half of the onion and everything else (except the corn) in a big ole stew pot and stir it up. If you want to throw it all in a crockpot - even better - cook it covered on low for about 4 hours. You can throw the corn in for the last hour. On the stove you can cook it on medium and have it done in about an hour or you can simmer it for as long as you want. Top with sour cream and cheese if you like.
