Turkey Patties

Deliciously healthy! These are great hot or cold and go with just about anything! Perfect snack or addition to a meal.  (Pic coming shortly...)

Ingredients:
~ 1/2 onion
~ 2 cloves of garlic or garlic powder
~ 1 egg
~ shredded cheese of choice (I use cheddar or mexican blend)
~ 1 lb ground turkey
~ parsley
~ salt

Directions:
In a food processor, place onion, garlic, egg and cheese; process until all is chopped and blended. Transfer to a large bowl and add turkey, parsley and salt. Mix well. Take about 1/4 cup, roll into a ball and smush into a patty. These can be cooked on a skillet on low-med heat, or better yet in a George Forman grill (worth the investment!)

Taco Soup Chili

This is a fav of everyone who's tried it so far! Compliments all the way around to my lil sis who created this recipe by combining part if a taco soup recipe and part of a chili recipe. A 10 year old told me it's the best chili he's ever had. That says a lot considering its chuck full of veggies! :) pic coming shortly...

Ingredients:
~ 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
~ chili powder (as much as you like, I use about 2T)
~ 1 onion, chopped
~ 2 cloves chopped garlic or garlic powder
~ 2-3 small chopped sweet peppers (or as much as you like. I always add extra)
~ 1/2 to 1 package low sodium taco seasoning
~ 1 can undrained corn
~ 1 can black or pinto beans
~ 1 can chopped tomatoes with green chillies

Optional toppings:
~ shredded cheese
~ sour cream
~ tortilla chips

Directions:
Season ground turkey with chili powder and brown in large pot. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30 min. Serve with addt'l toppings if desired.

My sister makes this exclusively in a crock pot. Cook for 4 hrs on high and add 1 1/2 cups of water if cooking in crock pot.
