Almost Fat Free Turkey Stroganoff

Ingredients:
(Makes 2 servings)

• 1 lb lean ground turkey, 99% fat free
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 8 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
• 4 ounces red onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon garlic (finely chopped or minced)
• 2 tablespoons thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 4 ounces fat free sour cream
• 1/4 cup water, as needed

Directions:

1. Clean and slice onion and mushrooms.
2. Drizzle 1 teaspoons of the olive oil into a non-stick pan and cook the onions over medium heat for a few minutes until they begin to soften,.
3. Drizzle the other half of the oil into the pan and add the mushrooms; cook on medium, turning and stirring frequently, for a few minutes until the mushrooms soften and begin to release their liquid.
4. (Optional Step: While the onion and mushrooms are cooking, put dried thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mortar and pestle and grind to a fine consistency.).
5. Remove onion and mushrooms from pan and set aside. Put ground turkey into the same pan, breaking apart the chunks into “ground meat” consistency. Cook, stirring frequently, until little or no pink shows.
6. Return onion and mushrooms to pan, and add dried spices, cook on low heat, stirring often, until all the meat is done and the mushrooms and onions have released all their liquid and are beginning to caramelize.
7. Adjust seasoning, if needed, and add water if the mixture is sticking to the pan too much. Continue cooking until the meat and vegetable mixture is no longer “wet.”.
8. Using the spatula, loosen any stuck-on bits on the bottom of the pan, and add the sour cream, mixing well.
9. Serve immediately over zucchini ribbons, spaghetti squash, or your choice of starch.

Ingredients:

Always try to buy organic, you’re worth it

Serves 5-8 as an appetizer.
* 3 large Avocados or 4-5 smaller Hass Avocados
* 3-4 tomatoes or equivalent portion of cherry tomatoes
* 1-2 bunches of cilantro
* 1 lemon

Notes: Cilantro really spruces guacamole up so use an abundance. Try just a few squeezes of lemon juice. For best taste, use ripe avocados with skins that yield easily to pressure.

Directions:
1. Dice the tomatoes
2. Remove the cilantro leaves from their stems and finely chop them.
3. Cut the lemon in half
4. Remove the avocado flesh from its skin, place it in a bowl, add the other ingredients, and mash thoroughly with a fork.

Enjoy with fresh carrot, celery or cabbage leaves!
