I found this recipe quite tasty, and you can add whatever veggies you enjoy in it. It's super easy and can be as spicy or blend as you'd like.
Ground Turkey and Peppers
Olive oil
1 chopped onion, including some chopped greens from scallions or green onions
2 bell peppers (red or yellow preferred), chopped
2 large celery stalks, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder (or to taste)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1 Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper and cook until onions and peppers are softened, a couple minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
2 Push the vegetables to the edge of one side of the pan and position that side of the pan so that it is off the burner, away from the heat. The empty part of the pan should be right over the burner. Add one or two more tablespoons of oil to coat the empty part of the pan. Put crumpled chunks of ground turkey in the pan, sprinkle with salt and chipotle or chili powder.
3 Cook the turkey without stirring until it is browned on one side, then turn the pieces over to brown the other side. Once the turkey is just cooked through, stir in the onions and peppers, and sprinkle with more salt and chili powder to taste. Remove from heat. Stir in fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.3 -
This recipe was insanely delicious and super flexible, since you can add or subtract from the veggie amounts. I used turkey breakfast sausage and 2% Cracker Barrel Cheddar, and also dumped in some cottage cheese(~1cup) I needed to use up. Super filling and comforting. Husband went nuts over this.

DIRECTIONS
Brown the sausage with the celery, onion and mushrooms.
Stir the softened cream cheese into the sausage mixture until well blended.

I do turkey, American cheese and avocado. Easy and satisfying.
A low carb sweet treat I eat (and I rhyme)
1/2 cup Ricotta cheese (I use full fat)
1/2 to 1 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
Your favorite sweetener to taste
Mix well
You can add fruit, nuts, whatever you want. I eat it plain. It's my favorite snack.

Yummy salad. I don't use artificial sweetener, but you could substitute. This is a recipe from a great Thai restaurant.
CUCUMBER SALAD
3 lg. cucumbers(peel, cut in half lengthwise'
Then sliced)
2 slices red onion(diced)
a few carrot strips( I use a potato peeler, lengthwise)
Dressing:
1/2 c. seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 c. water
1 Tbsp. + 1/2 tsp. sugar
Microwave 30 seconds to dissolve sugar. Chill.
Pour over veg. Let stand at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.1 -
Instead of the zucchini noodles for lasagna, I'm going to try these.
Cauliflower noodles
Ingredients
3 cups cauliflower rice, packed
3 eggs
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with olive oil.
In a food processor rice the cauliflower, until you get a texture finer than rice. Once it’s riced measure it and make sure you have 3 cups packed.
Place cauliflower rice in a bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, give it a good stir and microwave for another 2 minutes.
Place the cauliflower rice in a tea towel and twist it to squeeze as much moisture as you can (I usually squeeze out over a cup of liquid). This is very important. The cauliflower rice needs to be dry.
Place drained cauliflower rice back in the bowl and add eggs, salt and pepper and mix until combined.
Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let cool 5 to 10 minutes and carefully peel it off the parchment paper.
Transfer to a large cutting board or work surface.
Depending on the size and shape of your baking dish, cut the cauliflower noodles so that it will fit into the dish. Set aside. Then make your regular lasagna.1 -
I liked a few pages on facebook, they always post really good looking low carb recipes. Low Carbing Among Friends, Low Carb Zen, and Low Carb Keto Diet are nice pages.
I also use IG but cannot link to it on the main forums, lots of people there using #lowcarb #lchf or #keto all post low carb recipes so that has been helpful.
I've also been using this site for years, love it: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/1 -
