    Watch out for the seasoning packets (chili, tacos, mealoaf, etc.) THEY ARE LOADED WITH SODIUM! Make your own and you'll totally control the sodium!!!

    I agree, I forgot to mention that. I can't remember which brand it is but one of them does have a low-sodium seasoning packet....

    Turkey meatballs! I serve them with sauteed veggies and put a lot of veggies into the turkey itself.

    I have the cooking light 5 Ingredient 15 minutes cookbook and there is a recipe for beef and black bean chili. I substitute ground turkey for beef. It is quite yummy.

    1 pound(s) Ground Turkey
    2 can(s) Bush's Black Beans, 15 Oz cans (No Salt)
    1 cup(s) Medium or Hot Chunky Salsa
    2 can(s) No Salt Added Tomato Sauce, 8 oz cans
    1 tablespoon(s) Chili Seasoning Mix ( I omit this and replace with a tablespoon of Heinze Chili Sauce)

    Cook meat in a large saucepan over mediu-high heat until meat is browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain, if necessary.

    While meat cooks, drain and mash 1 can of beans. Add mashed beans, undrained beans, salsa, tomato sauce, and chili sauce to saucepan; stir well. Cook over medium heat 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

    Spoon into serving bowls. If desired, top with sour cream and shredded cheese.


    I make this pretty regularly. a serving is one cup and it is under 300 calories.

    Check out skinnytaste.com recipe Ground Turkey with Potatoes and Spring Peas. It is kind of indian inspired and turned out to be very tasty :)
