okay!

1 lb ground turkey breast
6 oz plain nonfat yogurt
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 c something - to - bind (oats, bread crumbs, etc., i use crushed corn flakes)
1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 beaten egg)

1 large apple (granny smith) peeled (or not!) and chopped
1.5 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded carrot

spray a large skillet with nonstick spray, or mist with olive oil, or use a little chicken broth to keep things from sticking.

saute carrots, onions, celery, and apple until softened.

while that's on the stove, mix the other ingredients in a large bowl.

when the veggies are done, let them cool off and then mix them in with the turkey stuff in the large bowl.

oven: 425 degrees

at this point you can make one giant loaf and bake it in a loaf pan, for 35-45 minutes, depending on how crunchy you like the edges. to test for doneness, poke a knife into the center, and if it comes out clean, it's done.

i like to make individual loaves and bake them on a cookie sheet. then i freeze them.

i usually make 4 or 5 servings. if i make 6, it looks more like meatballs than meatloaves. and three servings are pretty big, my girlfriend calls them 'greedy-people' servings.

shoot me a message if you have any questions.

I made stuffed bell peppers last night. Green peppers cleaned out, ground turkey, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (I prefer to use fresh), chopped onion, green chilies for a little kick. You can add brown rice to the mix but I didn't have any on hand.

I put 2 lbs of skinless boneless chicken breasts, 1 package of frozen peppers and onions stirfry (no additives just frozen peppers & onions) and clean taco/ fajita seasoning (I found it on the Eat Clean website) in the crock pot - you don't need to add any liquid at all!
Cook it on high for 2 hours then turn it to low for 4 hours (you could do low for 8 hours too). Then shred the chicken with 2 forks and serve with everything you'd normally put on a clean fajita (greek yogurt, salsa, black beans, avacado etc). They are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

For ground turkey:
2 lbs ground turkey cooked and drained
1 bag frozen peas and carrots (no additives just frozen vegs)
1 to 1 1/2 c clean brown gravy
sliced mushrooms (1 cup)
mix it all together with minced garlic, and Italian seasoning

1 bag frozen cauliflower steamed and blended w/ a little water (consistency of mashed potatoes)
top with mashed cauliflower

bake covered for 20 minutes then take the foil off and bake for 15 more.

Tada. Ground turkey Cottage Pie
