I could use help with ground turkey.. I but the 98% fat free ground turkey all white breast meat.. I usually just cook 2 packages and then throw in a full can of salsa and eat a side of veggies usually dark green veggies... I'll leave it up to your imagination as far as ingredients... Sodium is not a concern... Unhealthy fats is... No butter, margarine, etc.. And no carbs or trace amount..

Some guide lines that should suit alot of dieters......

Try to stay under 60g carbs per serving, 40 is preferable. Must yield high protein upwards of 40g per serving also. Fats should always remain low unless from healthy sources (and still shouldnt be TOO high) like fish or nuts. In the instance it is high in fats due to fish or nuts or a healthy fat source, the carb content should be drastically lower. Saturated and trans fats are a big no no. Dairy is usually out of the question. Fatty meats are also out of the question (sausage, bacon, some steaks etc..). When cooking it is best to avoid olive oil (unless on keto diet) and use something with no calories for pan coating like PAM.

All seasonings are acceptable (unless you are sodium restricting). All vegetables are also acceptable.

Carb sources need to be low GI (no sugars). You can check most GI lists that will have a full listing on most foods you could incorporate.

If anyone else has anything to add, please do.

Ok, can you give me slow cooker recipe for chicken, with minimal ingredients, and readily available ingredients (like chicken broth, onions, mushrooms, celery, etc..).

Also ne other recipe for chicken, doesnt have to be slow cooker, once again which is fairly simple and has easily available ingredients..


Your first recipe sounds delicious but, we dont have lean ground turkey, scallions, shallots, or saki.. here.. LOL.. So thts the reason i ask for basic simple vegetables in my recipe..

1 lb chicken breast cut into cubes
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup marsala wine(if you cant get it use a dry white wine or maderia wine)
1 cup chicken stock or broth
2 potatoes cubed
1/2 cup carrots cut up
1/2 cup celery cut up
1 tsp rosemary, thyme, taragon, paprika
3 tbsp tomato paste
2 dash cayenne pepper if you want it spicey.

put it all in a slow cooker and stir it ever 1/2 hour for 1 hour. cook for another 2-3 hrs.no more that 3 hrs total.

if your not restricting carbs you can always add come bow tie pasta.

stuffed chicken breast.

use a light oil to sautee only 1 tbsp or olive oil

1/2 cup shitake mushrooms are preffered butif you cant get them any mushroom will do.
1/2 cup fresh spinach
2 medium tomaties, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small shallot or red onion diced
1/4 cup dry white wine(optional)

slice the chicken breast in half but not all the way through so you can make a pocket.

sautee all the veggies salt and pepper to taste(now that im thinking about it you can even use a no calorie cooking spray) except the spinach.
lay the spinach inside the chicken uncooked and spoon in the rest of the veggies.
bake a 400 for 15 min.
i love this over a bed of brown rice with grilled asparagus.

1/2 cup marsala wine

cook the chicken just until it turns opaque seasoning as desired with salt and pepper.
throw in the shallots and mushrooms and continue to sautee for 2 min.

1/2 cup chopped scallions
2 cloves minced garlic.
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 small diced shallot.
head of your favorite lettus.
1/2 cup bean sprouts

This was really good... I don't know anything about saki so i asked the guy at the liquor store for sweet saki and he didn't know the difference either.. I wound up getting a dry saki... I don't have a blender or a food processor... Only a hand blender so i put the peanuts in a cup with the saki and soy sauce and blended up like that... I also used PAM spray instead of olive oil...

sweet saki is usually called MIRIN, you can find it near the regular saki in the liqour store. im glad you liked it though.

 

[bigguns078]

Thanks again for the tip... I have another request.. Im about to purchase a nice grill to accompany my outside deck... Im looking forward to grilling most of my food from now on..

My request: 2 or 3 healthy liquid marinades for skinless chicken breasts that i could make in bulk.. Store in my fridge and use at will when i need to grill up some chicken..

 

[tkav1980]

marinades

one of my favorites is teryiaki:
1/4 cup low sodium soy
1/4 cup sherry
juice of 1 orange
zest of one orange
2 cloges garlic grated
same amouint of fresh ginger grated(u can use powdered garlic and ginger)
1/4 cup brown suger(optional if you dont mind the GI carbs)

whisk it all together, to make more just double or triple all the ingredients.

If you can have any healthy fats like olive oil try this.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp oregano, thyme, rosemary, capers,
1/2 diced small red onion.

whisk it all together just remember that alittle of this goes a long way, use sparingly.

this last one is great for fish, just about any fish

1/2 cup dry white wine
juice of one lemon
1 tsp capers,
black pepper
diced red bell pepper
1 diced shallot or verry small red onion
1/2 tsp old bay
pinch dill

This one actualy gets better after it sits for a good 24 hours.

after you marinade and grill the fish(black bass is my favorite) take some of the left over marinade and toss it in a frying pan for a min or so with freshly steamed or grilled veggies, no need for any kind of oil .

2 WORDS....STUFFED PEPPERS!!!!!!!

get urself a bunch of green bell peppers!

3 large cans of peeled tomatoes
2 cups uncooked brown rice
2 lbs ground meat
4 cloves minced garlic
1 yellow onion finely diced
1 cup finley chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped scallions
salt pepper
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp parsley

first cook the rice and let it get cold
put the somatoes in a blender until its one consistancy

cut the tops off the peppers and bull out the seeds in the middle

in a big bowl mix the rice, meat,spices,garlis,onion, scallions...well u get the idea...everything but the pureed tomatoes.

if you want to you can use the canned tomato sauce , not flavored or anything just plain.

in a big, deep baking dish put some tomato puree on the bottom,
stuff the peppers with the ground meat(pack them tight without breaking the pepper)
place them tight together in the baking dish so it looks like they cant fall over.
pour the rest of the tomatoes over top.

the meat and peppers will flavor the sauce perfectly.

My other suggestion is meat balls!

1 lb ground meat
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese
1 tbsp oregano
1 egg
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tbsp basil(try to chop ur own fresh)
2 slices of natural whole wheat bread(toast it on low 3 times then put it in a blender to make bread crumbs)
1 yellow onion chopped
1 tsp parsley.

in a big bowl mix everything except the bread crumbs...
try to make a meat ball
if it wont hold add the bread crumbs 1 tbsp at a time until it holds together.
in a non stick skillet use some pam and brown them off then finish them in the oven at 350 for 40 min (cook them IN your favorite sauce when you bake them)
