Last month I posted about how I would soon get tired of sausages and I was craving chicken! http://wp.me/p25oSj-eT

meatballs made with ground lean beef or ground turkey – I also add some breadcrumbs for DD’s meatballs and almond flour for mine. Also thinky shredded zucchini. that’s the only way she’ll eat zucchini so I add that, and i find that it makes ematballs moist.

fish patties / croquettes – made from tinned wild salmon is yumm! I also bake salmon fillets…

I will give that pepper stuffed with minced emat a try!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the recommendations. I plan to try all of these out over the next few weeks. I’m going to make the pepper recipe tomorrow!

I secon what Newlywed on a Budget said about ground turkey in stuffed bell peppers. This is one of our regulars. You can even subtract the meat altogether, and it’s still good.

I like the lentil & rice casserole recipe from the Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyzyn. We use it to make easy burritos – just add sour cream & salsa and wrap it up into a tortilla. Delish! Here’s the recipe:
3 cups of broth – chicken or vegetable
1/2 cup of brown rice, uncooked
3/4 cup of lentils, uncooked
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all ingredients in a casserole dish. Bake covered @ 300 degrees F for an hour and a half. If you want, add shredded cheese the last 20 minutes of baking.

We eat lots of fish. the ruffy at trader joe’s has a good flavor that ALMOST tastes like chicken! as in, it doesnt have that fishy smell or taste.

i also buy salmon burgers from costco in the freezer section that are SO yummy.

oh and i substitute ground turkey for beef like 99% of the time. you can’t even tell the different. i make ground turkey meat spaghettie, lasagna…i make stuffed bell peppers with ground turkey, chopped carrots, spinach, mushrooms and some soyaki sauce! delish and carb free!

I don’t know if he would be willing to try tofu but I make something called Terry’s takeout Tofu a lot:

Stir fry mushrooms and greens (spinach, chard, etc) in oil and garlic. Set aside.

Heat up 1tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp water
Put 1/2 inch slices of tofu in pan.
Place sliced cheese on top
Cook until cheese is melted
Put on bread and top with greens

I sometimes leave off the greens for the baby’s dish (hard to chew) but leave the mushrooms.

Tofu + cheese is the only way my sister will eat it.

When not eating chicken (a rare occasion!), I’m a HUGE fan of turkey mince (ground meat to you Americans). They only have it here near Xmas in NZ and I miss it so…

I love turkey meatloaf: http://mesohongry.blogspot.co.nz/2010/11/marvelous-mini-meatloavesmmmmmmmmmm.html

Spinach Lasagna…it’s great and I’m not a spinach lover. Also, Vegetable Lasagna. Stuffed bell peppers with ground meat (I use turkey, but most use beef).
