I need new meat!

I'm sort of in the same boat, only I'm allergic to chicken and I'm very bored with food...I do use a lot of Turkey, it's just difficult finding fresh turkey breast at my super market options. I did find last night, pre-cooked/pre-seasoned Turkey Breast in the meat department at Wal-Mart. I bought 1, just to try it and I loved it. I took it home and cut it all up into cubes, and then I weighed it out into servings so I would know that this serving cup has 140 calories of Turkey. worked quite well!!!

Hey there,
I try making my own "protein style burgers" with extra extra lean ground beef or you can use ground turkey as well. Cooked in a George Forman grill so it removes the excees fat. They I cut up onions, tomatoe and wrap in lettuse with some spicy mustard on it. It's really really good and saves me from going and getting a burger.
You should also buy some tuna and albacore in water. They are both full of protein and not much fat. I mix with a little mustard, some onions and eat it over spinach.
Hope this helps.

I am so going to try that!

One great protein is soybeans, or shelled edamame. For 2/3 cup you get 10 g. of protein, calories 110, fat 3 g., fiber 8 g., no cholesterol, less than 5mg of sodium. Its great to toss in a salad, or with some wild rice.

ground turkey with taco seasonin'. you can have taco salad, tostadas, anything mexican and it's pretty low in cals. It's a staple for us.

Lean steak is great stir fried, or turkey/chicken stir fried. Add a little chilli, oyster sauce and a drop of sesame oil. Is yummy. Or just add greek yoghurt with mint in to chicken.

My husband is not a big fan of poultry of any sort. Some of the other options.

Pork Tenderloin - 3oz around 122 calories
Cut it into medallions and have tenderloin pork chops; marinated and on the grill is wonderful. I try to buy large ones, then butcher them down into 1, 2 and 3 serving size pieces and freeze what I'm not using.

Salmon - 3oz, 175 calories
Lemon and olive oil, tossed on the grill or baked

Bison 3oz ground 152 calories
The ultimate substitute for beef. Bison has less calories, less cholesterol, less fat and more iron than beef. Cook it the exact same way you would all your beef dishes. This is a little harder to find, but there are several good online companies. You can also get bison steaks, roasts, etc from these companies.

I eat all kinds of meats, i just go for the extra lean, and watch my portions. have lots of vegtables with it. It works well for me. I dont like to be bored and if I dont eat what i like i wont stick to my new healthier lifestyle:happy: :happy:

I eat Mahi Mahi, chicken, turkey (lean ground mainly), tilapia, tuna , eggs (egg whites) and once in a blue moon I'll have a lean beef of some kind.

Marinate chicken in balsamic vinaigrette with garlic and pepper, or in Orange Juice, use lemon pepper or garlic pepper to season.... add to homemade whole wheat pizza with 2% cheese and lots of veggies.

turkey burgers mixed with spinach and mushrooms (mmm.... )
turkey meatloaf
you can make chicken rolls (pound a chicken breast flat, put 1 slice of low fat mozzarella cheese and 3 asparagus tips in the middle and roll. Put in a a baking dish and with marinara sauce and bake at 350. Mmmm..... great with whole wheat pasta if you like pasta. I serve it with baked red potatoes.

go to sparkrecipes.com there are tons of great recipes on that site!

I'm vegetarian, so I eat fake meat (usually Gardein Chik'n Filets), but this oughtta taste great with real chicken as well.

In one pan, I cook some chopped onions until they're slightly translucent, then add some chopped carrots, chopped celery, chopped red/green/yellow peppers, and some garlic. I stir it often until the onion is caramelized. Then I add 1 part apple juice to 2 parts vegetable stock (you could use chicken stock), and heat it on high to let it boil and reduce, stirring it often.

While that's reducing, in another pan, I cook the Gardein Chik'n filets. I brown it on one side, then turn it over. Immediately I spoon some of the reduced sauce and chopped veggies on top of it (even if it's not fully reduced yet, it's okay) and let it to continue browning the second side. When it's done, just plate the filets and pour the remaining reduction and caramelized veggies on it. It's delicious!

Frozen cooked shrimp. Nothing is easier and it's just about as light as you can get.

We like ground turkey tacos and ground turkey chili. I also cook fish dipped in cornmeal and fry it in olive oil flavored pam. I can't eat the same thing every day so I have to switch it up.
