Introduction

Based off of a recipe from the book, Saving Dinner (by Leanne Ely) this recipe can easily be doubled, and the non-dairy ingredients split into two. Then the other half can be frozen and later thawed-- to make another meal. We buy the 1.25 lb. packages of ground turkey breast and use that to make 2 batches of this recipe. This is one most kids like as well. Based off of a recipe from the book, Saving Dinner (by Leanne Ely) this recipe can easily be doubled, and the non-dairy ingredients split into two.

Ingredients

    3 c. brown rice, cooked and cooled to room temp.
    10 oz. cooked ground turkey breast (or 1.5 c. of cooked turkey, cubed-- preferably white meat)
    3/4 c. diced tomatoes (about 1/2 can)
    1/4 c. sliced green onions
    1/2. diced green pepper
    1 TB chopped fresh basil.
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, or to taste

    1 c. eggbeaters
    1/2 c. nonfat milk
    6 oz. shredded soy cheese (I buy a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and jack).

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, combine the rice through cayenne and stir well. Add milk and egg beaters and continue to stir well. Pour into sprayed 9x13" pan, top with cheese, and bake 20-25 minutes. Cut into 6 servings and serve.

******

If you're doubling the recipe, Here's what I do:
- 3 c. brown rice into one freezer bag, and 3 c. into a mixing bowl.
- Cook the turkey with all ingredients through cayenne. Split that in half and put half in freezer bag and half in mixing bowl.
- Label and date freezer bag, and when the bag stops steaming, place it in the freezer for a future meal.
- For the meal you're having tonight, add the milk and egg beaters to the mixing bowl, and continue with the recipe as drafted. (Let cool, or use leftover turkey, to avoid "cooking" the eggs as you add them to the bowl.)

-To make the freezer version, thaw the freezer bag the night before.
- When ready, pour freezer bag into mixing bowl, add the milk and egg beaters, and follow the recipe as written.

Voila! 2 batches of good food that with half the prep time!
