Low-Fat Poultry Meatballs
Half turkey, half chicken! Ground turkey is often suggested as a lower-fat alternative for meatballs instead of beef, and ground chicken is generally ignored because it doesn't have enough fat to really hold together as a meatball. I balanced both advantages (the even-lower-fat chicken and will-stick-together turkey) and combined the two, seasoning them for poultry. They stay together nicely and are lower in fat than all-turkey meatballs - not to mention that they taste great! This makes a ton of meatballs - plenty to freeze and reheat in the oven for 15 minutes from frozen on a busy night.Submitted by: PERIDRAGON

Dan's Crockpot Poultry Chow Mein
A very useful recipe for when you have a lot of left-over turkey or chicken (this recipe uses chicken) and you're tired of making soup. Note the cook time seems long because it's in a crock pot, which calls for two to four hours.
I used bagged or hand-selected vegetables. If you use canned, drain and rinse before adding to remove the excess salt. Unfortunately that will lose some of the vitamins; your call. If using frozen vegetables, warm them slightly in the microwave (a minute or so on High, right in the bag) so they don't freeze the other ingredients when you mix them in.
STRANGE FACT: using turkey instead of chicken makes the following changes to the nutritional information per serving:
- 1.5 times the fat (mostly mono- and polyunsaturated)
- 50 more calories
- 300 more grams of sodium (?)
- 2 more grams of sugar (?)
- 1.5 more grams of protein
and variations in vitamins and minerals.
