Lean Turkey and Currant Recipe for just the right amount of sweetness.

As you know, a diet that consist of a combination of lean proteins, organic veggies, high fiber carbs and organic fruits can lead to weight loss success when combined with a calorie burning, muscle developing plan.

Yet, eating just plain simple protein foods is boring for many and usually leads to failure.  The best solution is to defeat diet blues and create ” Go To” recipes that are tasty and good for you.  I prefer recipes that you can double and even quadruple to use throughout the week or month if frozen.  Also, I cook protein recipes that I can place on top of salads, stir fry with organic veggies or simply eat with organic fruit.

So, below is one of my favorite ground turkey recipes that gives turkey chili a run for its money since its alot more versatile.  Try it out and let me know if you enjoy it as much as i do….

  • 1 pound of unprocessed lean ground turkey meat

  • 1/2 cup of organic golden raisins or currants (chopped)
  • 1-3 tbsp of  each cinnamon, oregano, sea salt and black pepper (all to taste)
  • 2 medium chopped white onion
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • chopped fresh parsley to taste (I use a small handfull)

Procedure:

  1. Brown turkey in olive oil.  Cook thoroughly. Place aside
  2. Saute’ chopped onion, garlic in olive oil till lightly brown.  Add cinnamon, oregano, sea salt and black pepper (all to taste).  Stir in currants or golden raisins , walnuts and brown rice.  Combine and mix together well.  Add Turkey and again mix and combine together.

Healthy Breakfast Ideas that are different.

Posted by Doug Doug 3,March 2011 Leave a comment

Throughout the years, I have tried all different breakfast recipes that were different but tasted good. Currently, my breakfast usually consist of an egg and 4-5 egg white omelet topped with organic cheddar cheese and Trader Joes’ original salsa. Ya, I eat cheese and stay at 4-5 % body fat. No, I’m not a body builder or admire my self in the mirror at every ripple nor do I like that mentality. I just feel healthy and fast when I box, wrestle or workout.

So, one question I get all the time is suggestions on breakfast meals that are healthy but different. I’ll list a few that you may want to try below. Please comment on any breakfast ideas that are different that you may have to share.

Breakfast Idea 1:Sweet potatoes, bananas and cinnamon. Slice the sweet potatoes thin and saute them in coconut oil or olive oil. Mix with sliced banana and top with cinnamon. Place a scoop of Greek yogurt on top.

Breakfast Idea 2:Plain Greek yogurt, mixed with 1-2 tbsp of raw agave, 1/2 cup eziekiel cereal and chopped up raw almonds, dates and a scoop of green magma plus all natural vanilla whey protein.

Breakfast Idea 3:blended fruit with scoop of your favorite all natural protein, chia seeds and tsp of raw almond or sunflower butter. In blender..blend small banana, organic berries, strawberries and melon with water to consistency you like. You could even use coconut or almond milk instead of water. Blend in scoop of whey protein, tbsp of chia seeds, tbsp of raw almond butter and tbsp of agave or raw honey.

Breakfast Idea 4:egg whites mixed with low-fat cottage cheese and pineapple in its own juice. Slice eziekiel toast with earth balance butter or raw almond butter.

Breakfast Idea 5: Carrot juice blended with frozen organic strawberries, 2 scoops hemp or whey protein, 1 tbsp of raw almonds and 1/2 cup organic oats.

Breakfast Idea 6: egg white omelet with sauteed chicken slithers, Mexican cheese and hot sauce or even cocktail sauce. I actually love the spicy peanut vinaigrette from Trader Joes. I put it on everything!

So, there you go. Some different ideas from the usually yogurt with granola or the egg and turkey bacon sandwich.
Try them out. You may like them or you may say they su**. :)

These low carb, organic veggie and lean protein stir frys are great for diets or a healthy menu plan.  Double or triple the recipe and store in proper freezer containers for instant lunch and dinner.  Sometimes even a snack!  I enjoy any of these dishes over 1/2 cup short grain brown rice.

  • 1 (10 oz) package shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup chopped pineapple
  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast (free range if possible)

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the garlic. When the garlic is browned add the asparagus. Stir fry for 5 minutes or until the asparagus turns bright green.
