I used a normal recipe and tried some different things to make it healthier, and it turned out delicious!!
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 bell pepper chopped
4 stalks of celery chopped
4 carrots chopped
4 potatoes boiled
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
can of chicken broth (low sodium)
a squirt or two of ketchup
fresh thyme chopped up (I used dried)
Brown your turkey, add thyme, and then add onions, pepper, celery, and carrots let cook for a while and then add your chicken broth, bring to a boil. Then add 2 TBS of flour, mix it in really well to help thicken, then add worchestershire sauce and 2 squirts of ketchup to taste. Let simmer while you mash your potatoes with a dash of dill, and two squirts of dijon mustard.
In a 9x13 dish add your turkey mixture, and then on top add the potatoes. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
My kids loved this. It was really tasty, and hard to not eat a lot, but fortunately, my family cleaned up the dish, so I really only got my fist full serving. Make sure you serve it up with a big green salad and portion yours on your plate, so you don't go back for seconds.
This is just a recipe I serve at home, I am not a chef, and I am not a dietician, but I want to share with you the ways I try to eat healthier with my family. Tonight my kids want me to make oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips (ugh!) But I will only use half of the chips, half the sugar, and I replace the oil with applesauce. You can also use an egg substitute if you like for the eggs.
