Turkey!!

One of my favorite meals now is anything that involves turkey cutlets.   They usually come in a pack of 4 thin cutlets I have made them a variety of ways. I have marinated them in a lemon pepper and grilled on Forman grill. For my kids and hubby I just grilled them added a some sauce once c
done and baked for like 5 min to melt some mozzarella on them. Sort of a more healthy chicken...or turkey parm. They loved them. My most recent was in a pan a small amount of olive oil and just a few sprinkles or lowreys seasoned salt. I really used a very small amount because I am trying to limit salt intake.

Now to complete that meal I put some olive oil in a pan. Some garlic and baby bella mushrooms. Cooked them up until they were a little softer...not to much more is going in to cook... The I added some zucchini and red bell peppers and let them cook up a bit...sorry my times are not great. It really depends I like my veggies to still have a crunch..Some people like them soft. Cook them for you.  Then I added some spinach arugula mix. And let that wilt just until soft. I the added some pepper and some season vinegar....see photo. ...  I love this stuff. My father actually bought for me I'll have to ask him where he got it haha!  I don't add a lot maybe one or two table spoons then I'll taste it. I like vinegar but I don't like it to over take my food either. But some people don't like it as much if your one then don't add!  Spice it anyway you like.  your  veggies!!!  Then I cut up half an avocado to eat with the yummy turkey!

Enjoy!!

Have a good week!!

Tuna sandwich hold the mayo please

So I was again hunting for a sandwich. They are so much easier when running out with kids or working at noon. So I tried tuna.   As usual I started with my low sodium ezekiel bread toasted. I always toast mine be I keep it in the freezer since I am only one eating it I don't want it to go bad before I do.

So I used one can of tuna. Solid white in water.  Then because i am trying not to use mayo. I added a table spoon of trader Joes cilantro jalapeño hummus.   This is definitely a spicy tuna dish.  I added in 1/2 a teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder and like 4 drops of sriracha.  Mixed it all up and put it on the bread. Now Mine was a tad bland compared to my normal tuna so I added a few more sprinkles of cumin. Now salt would have fixed it but I am really trying to avoid.  So I am trying to become use to things with less sodium. I topped the sandwich with half an avocado. 

On a side note as well a few days after this sandwich I made the same tuna for dinner. Since I am trying to avoid the carbs at night I topped it with a slice of go veggie soy cheese cheddar flavor with jalapeños and then heated it in micro for like 20 seconds to melt cheese. It was supper yummy and spicy!  I have also tried that cheese on my morning eggs for a kick!!

Happy healthy eating!
