    Some of the recipes look sooo yummy!
    I use recipes from the sneakychef for my son. She sneaks veggies into other foods and some of them are quite tasty. She's got a lot of the typical kid-food that I get quickly tired off. however, she has also written a book specifically to sneak veggies into your husbands diet but I haven't read it yet.

    I made this for dinner last night, The first time my ex hubs and I tried it, we were skeptical, but its amazing and he loved it.

    I also used to do a Pesto-turkey burger and baked bean night.

    I'd make a fresh basil pesto, mix it into the turkey burger, and cook em up. He was skeptical, but again he liked it. They were like, tasty herb burgers.

    I also loved this, he loved it, everyone I now live with loved it

    Some of the recipes everyone has posted sound great and yummy. However, I have to add a comment about the ground turkey. I saw something or read it somewhere, I can't remember, that if you use the extra lean ground beef with 7% fat or lower, it is actually leaner than the ground turkey. The statement that was made was they have to add fat to the turkey and it often ends up higher in fat than the ground beef. When I cook my beef, I always rinse it off with hot tap water to help drain all the extra fat.

    I buy the Extra Lean Ground Turkey. The problem is it's much drier and much more expensive. Although, beef is higher in saturated fat than turkey. The protein and iron levels in both are nearly identical though. There are positives and negatives to both.

    A friend of mine recently taught me that if you chop mushrooms really fine and add them to the ground turkey when making turkey burgers they stay nice and moist, no one can tell the difference, and you're sneaking some extra veggies in! My kiddo HATES cooked mushrooms, but eats these without any complaint at all!

    I used to puree veggies and put the puree in things like stew, bolognaise sauce etc. He couldn't see it, so he didn't whinge! Then slowly started dicing instead of pulverising, then chopping instead of dicing, then having some out of the sauce with salt and pepper only...eventually he just started eating his viggies lol!

    There are still some veggies that he just will not eat - mushrooms, beans and anything leafy. And he won't eat a salad, but will have grated raw carrot and cucumber and tomato if I make home-made burgers.

    I blame his father - he is 70 and still won't eat anything that looks like a vegetable - he thinks it's 'woman' food. *sigh*

    Mmmmmmm I made enchilada soup the other night. You could hide veggies in it sooo easily. Just cut them up real small..

    2 chicken breast
    1 can cream of chicken soup
    1 can red enchilada sauce
    1 can black beans
    1 bag frozen corn
    1 onion chopped
    1 green pepper chopped.
    1 cup skim milk.

    Put it all in a crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours :)

    Turkey burgers

    1 lb ground turkey
    1 cup pace salsa
    1 egg or 1/4 cup egg whites
    Chopped veggies ( anything you can chop up real small or grate
    Some garlic and onion powder. I'm not us how much I use, I never measure

    Mix all ingredients form into patties ( these are very moist) you need to form into patty and immediately place in a hot pan or grill and don't touch for like 4 minutes. The one side needs to fully cook before you try to flip it.
