    (toasted in the oven first)
    .25 cup lighter primavera sauce
    .5 rome tomato sliced thin
    3 sliced of bell pepper
    1 sliced mushroom
    (pile on the toasted tortilla, then in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes)
    .25 cup 2% three cheese (kraft), shredded
    (place it under the broiler until the cheese begins to lightly brown)

    YUM!

    I like taking ground turkey and adding an egg and seasoned bread crumbs. Add in garlic salt and pepper and cook on a grill.

    Brown the turkey meat along with seasoning and onions
    She uses a thin-crust dough, so top off the crust
    400 Degree's.... really doesn't take long about 10-12 minutes (to touch)
    until the crust is brown and firm

    then top it off with fresh veggies and cheese.

    Just a note about the ground turkey... make sure you buy ground turkey BREAST. Otherwise it can be thigh meat and skin, which isn't really all that awesome for you.

    We buy ground turkey at Costco in bulk. Its the hormone free, 98% fat free stuff. We divide it up into smaller portions and freeze it. I don't got time to break down full turkeys. Nor hunt them either.

    Tonight we are doing.....

    Tilapia (frozen filets - broiled with EVOO and cajun seasoning, serve with lemon)
    Steamed broccoli (with lemon and sea salt - after cooking)
    Peaches and Cream Corn (for the kids - not me!)
    Brown rice

    This is a meal we have a lot, and it is soooo easy. My kids love it all too.

    word up. I think it was the Butterball brand over in the meat section (not the frozen section). I can't remember what the size was. I wanna say around 5 lbs. Comes in the tray with plastic wrap, not the casing roll. They've had it every trip we've ever made, so it wasn't one of those like select products. I dunno.

    We take it home, divide up the portions and then freeze it....is what I meant.
