Turkey Chili

This was soooo good. And even better the next day. I literally had very few things in the house, so my hubby and I whipped this up on a whim.

1lb ground turkey
1 green pepper
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can light red kidney beans (drained/rinsed)
1/2 can black beans (drained/rinsed)

In a large skillet, we browned the ground turkey. While browning, we added green pepper. Once done, we added 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1 can light red kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 can black beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 can (smallest at meijer) tomato sauce. Let simmer for 25 min on medium. We did not stir! It was filmy on the top when the timer was up so we stirred then and served.

My husband raved about this for like 3 days so I think its a keeper :)

Fixers: 1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1/4 green (per serving) should make about 8 servings

Qdoba Bowl

1/2c Brown Rice
1/4c black beans (rinsed)
3oz Boneless Skinless Chicken (cooked)
1/2c Salsa
1/4 Avocado
1/8c mozzarella cheese
Dollup of plain Greek yogurt (sour cream substitute)


Cook rice as directed. Rinse black beans. I always have cooked chicken on hand (usually on Sunday I cook quite a bit in the crockpot so it only needs to be heated for recipes). Add salsa, avocado, cheese, and yogurt (if desired)

You save about 350 calories on this bowl vs Qdoba.... you're welcome :D

Fixers: 1.5 yellows, 1.5 Reds, 1/2 Purple, 1.5 Blues

Pizza Zucchini Boats

4 large zucchini
1/2c Mozzarella Cheese
1c Organic Tomato Sauce
Toppings of choosing

Cut each zucchini in half long ways. Take a spoon and gently run down the middle scooping out the center. The goal is to create a boat like form for the fillings.
Preheat over to 375 degrees
On a lined and greased baking sheet (I use a little olive oil). Place zucchini hollow side up on the baking sheet. Place sauce in bottom of boat. Add cheese on top. Add toppings (my favorite is pepperoni- 3-4)
Bake for 20 minutes or until tender

Fixers (2 boats): 1 Green, 1 Blue, 1/2 Purple, 1/2 Red
