Dearest M, I am also VERY proud of you! Even though this appears to be the M & Andrews Sisters Show (lol), I'm going to horn in. i have wanted to comment on several of your entries, but I needed to catch up first. You are a great inspiration and you've already come a long way! Don't let the turkeys get you down!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of turkeys, did you get a chance to look at that Parade article? Here is that recipe I told you about for Turkey Sloppy Joes:
2 T. olive oil
4 peeled whole cloves of garlic
1 c. diced shallots
1 lg. green bell pepper, diced
3 medium-sized bay leaves
1 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. red chili-pepper flakes
1 lb. ground lean turkey
28 oz. can whole tomatoes
6 oz. can tomato paste
2 c. hot water
Salt & pepper to taste
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split
Dill pickle slices or jalapeno slices, for
garnish
1. Heat the olive oil over moderate heat in a deep skillet. Add garlic and stir. After 2 to 3 minutes, add shallots, bell pepper, bay leaves, oregano, and red chili flakes. Stir for a few minutes. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and brown for 5 minutes, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon. Add canned tomatoes, paste, and 2 c. hot water. Stir.
2. When mixture starts to boil, lower heat and let simmer until thickened, 30 to 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F. Stir misture occasionally, breaking up tomatoes into a rich, ragu-like consistency.
3. Add sat and pepper, to taste. Toast buns split-side down on oven rack for 6 to 8 minutes.
4. Discard bay leaves. Spoon Sloppy Joe mixture on buns and garnish with dill pickle slices or jalapenos.

Maybe you could freeze it in portions and use it over several days. I guess it takes an hour or so to fix, so you may want to plan on fixing it for future eatings. (?)
There are a couple of other recipes, but I'll send them another time. I can't use this recipe, but thought you might enjoy it. Let me know,
BTW: Where do you find um... er... was it Greek yogurt? I asked at a couple of stores and they obviously don't know about it. (One clerk pointed to the Yoplait!!!!) All the health-food stores, Whole Foods, and Sprouts markets are too far to drive just for some yogurt.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thank you, Kathie!! That recipe sounds delicious!! Nice to have you aboard!! :)
