Ground Recipes

My aunt Gwen was a great cook and she kept go-to, quick recipes that were always as good as her spent-all-day-making recipes. This was one of my favorites from her go-to, quick list.

This is a delicious and easy Pakistani recipe.

THIS RECIPE IS UNBELIEVABLE!

Yummy!!

10 minute prep. Easy as can be.

Savory dish

Just like momma used to make, minus all the calories.

A simple, one-pan comfort food.

Melts in your mouth! 2.24 points

My picky DH loved this!

These tacos are low calorie , low in fat and loaded with fiber. They are very tasty and nutritious. The whole family will love them!

A delicious, healthier verison of classic meatloaf

Just like mom used to make.

"Browned ground turkey and cannellini beans are combined with green chilies, onion and garlic in this chicken stock based soup seasoned with cumin, oregano and cinnamon. Serve with grated jack cheese."

A nice twist for a good healthy meal

6 simple ingredients and a muffin tin make this a delicious favorite that can be made ahead of time!

Tasty, Quick and Easy

This is a family favorite modified with healthier ingredients!

I made this on a whim cuz I was craving something that's stewy. I served it with couscous :)

Quick & easy healthy version of Stroganoff. This is a very basic recipe, that leaves room to flavor to your own tastes.

This is a recipe that I have been experimenting with and tweaking for years. Always a family favorite and they didn't even notice the difference when I re-invented it using low fat ingredients and turkey instead of beef.

The best thing about this meal is how much fun you can have making it. Since it is more of a "stew" I have added all kinds of different vegetables and sometimes even put left over pot roast in with it. Have fun and be creative!

Halloween - Autumn Variation: Make this recipe just as described below but remove the potatoes and add one can (15oz) of pumpkin puree or 2 cups fresh pumpkin peeled and cubed, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice and 3 Tbls. of brown sugar!

Delicious chili made with lean ground turkey

As a Brasilian, I grew up eating picadinho, a ground meat dish. This is a lighter version of picadinho, made with 94% ground turkey. I flavored it with mexican spices (cilantro, cumin, a dash of chilli powder and a pinch of cayenne).
Picadinho goes great inside a quesadilla, stuffed into a baked potato, served along side veggies and oven fries...

These empanadas are low fat, low calorie, high protein and freeze well! They're a staple in our house as a quick lunch or dinner on the go.

This is something that was a hit with my hubby and 3 year old. I took some stuff we had and put it together (I was craving cabbage) I also used low-sodium cream of mushroom soup when I made it, but for the recipe, put down regular (as I think it would help with flavoring)
You may want more or less salt and pepper for taste.
