This is so quick & delicious!

AND this is low carb! Such a great replacement instead of eating sandwiches.

Servings: Individual

Ingredients:
Turkey lunch meat, block or sliced cheese, baby spinach leaves, mustard

Directions:
Just get a few slices of lean turkey lunchmeat, an equal number of cheese slices (I slice mine thin & narrow off a block of Colby), some fresh spinach leaves, and mustard.

Take the slice of turkey, put the narrow cheese slice in the middle, top with a few spinach leaves, and drizzle some mustard down the middle. Wrap up the sides & press down, you're done! You could put a toothpick in the middle to secure them. Have one for a snack, or several for a meal. You can add a tomato slice as well.

Yummy!

A great meal to be eaten at home, but can also be served at a barbeque and picnics, with or without the salsa and guacamole.  These have proved very popular at our house and have many fewer calories than the normal version.  A serving is 2 burgers and a quarter of the salsa and guacamole. I’ve also substituted canned corn kernels for the beans, and this actually lowered the calorie count a little.

 If you omit the tortillas, you can reduce the calories even further.

Per serving: 456 calories

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
The burgers
• 400g ground turkey/turkey mince (use the best quality ground turkey/turkey mince you can find)
• 1 shallot or small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, peeled and very finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• A pinch of dried chili flakes
The guacamole
• 1 avocado
• 1 clove of garlic, peeled
• 1 lime
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
The salsa
• 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
• ½ red onion, chopped
• 120gm (4.5oz) tin of blackeye beans
• A splash of olive oil
• Juice and zest of ½ a lime
• A handful of coriander/cilantro, roughly chopped
• ½-1 chili (depending on how hot you like your food), finely chopped
• 4 flour tortillas, low calorie/fat version if possible
• ½ iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 150gm (5.5oz) 0% fat Greek yoghurt
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Jalapeño peppers

Directions:
1. Mix all the burger ingredients together and make into eight patties. Set aside.
2. To make the guacamole, scoop out all the avocado flesh and put into a blender with the garlic and lime juice. Blend until smooth and season to taste.
3. To make the salsa, mix the tomato and onion with the beans, olive oil, lime juice, coriander and chili. Season and set aside.
4. Heat up a griddle pan. Cook the burgers for about five minutes on each side, turning occasionally to chargrill all over.
5. Heat up a frying pan/skillet (with no oil) and warm the tortillas through. Or do this in the microwave.
6. Serve the burgers with some shredded lettuce, a dollop of yoghurt, the guacamole and salsa, wrapped in a tortilla
7. Serve the lime and the jalapeño peppers on the side for extra flavour and heat.

This is an easy way to make healthier Hamburger Helper for your family-  a little less fattening and a little more healthy with added veggies. Makes it kinda like a chicken pot pie filling. Any kind of HH can be used probably, but I use Phili Cheese Steak flavor, or any mushrrom/beef type.

Servings: 6

Ingredients:
One box Hamburger helper -
One 2 lb pkg ground turkey (use breast meat for 100% fat free)
Optional for people who refuse to go straight turkey:
One small <1 lb pkg extra lean ground beef (4-8% fat )and 1lb turkey- mixed
8 oz canned mushrooms (or 5-10 fresh ones sliced or chopped)
1/2 chopped onion
1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
1 C fat free milk
1 C water

Directions:
Brown (together if turkey and beef) in large skillet with mushrooms. Drain off all liquid and rinse under hot water to remove all traces of fats from meats. Continue browning -add chopped onion and carrot/peas. Brown till onions are softened. Drain any additional liquid. Rinse again if needed. Add milk and water, HALF the pasta from the HH package (or better yet replace with whole grain pasta- but still only use half the amount). Empty the package of HH seasoning in a measuring cup and eyeball to remove 1/4 of the mix. Add remaining 3/4 of the mix to skillet and mix well, throw out remaining mix.
Cover and simmer as instructed on HH package. After cooked, adding 1 small dollop of fat free sour cream on the serving on the plate is yummy and appetizing looking. Use cup measurer to serve 1 C per person. Serve with salad to fill up on.
You can use speghetti squash in place of pasta - just cook it as directed, and mix in at the very end just before serving, and reduce the liquids even more, and then no need to simmer the HH so long…maybe half the time.
