Does anyone have a recipe for turkey meatloaf that does not call for eggs?

Jo Jo

I'm on a special diet and cannot eat dairy (including eggs), tomatoes, or really any processed food. I have a hankering for some veggie turkey meatloaf and am looking for a recipe with no eggs. Will oil work?
Thanks!

Any recipes for ground turkey besides... ?

tatted_mom

...chili, burgers and meatloaf/meatballs? I want something new!

Answer
Turkey Marsala Casserole

â¢2 medium onions, chopped
â¢3 cloves garlic, minced
â¢20 ounce package of ground turkey breast
â¢1 T olive oil
â¢Salt and pepper (donât be shy here)

â¢16 ounce box elbow macaroni

â¢14 ounce can beef broth
â¢Â¾ cup Marsala wine
â¢Â½ cup flour
â¢Â½ cup water

â¢4 ounce jar of roasted red peppers, chopped

â¢2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided


Preheat the oven to 375

Boil the macaroni in plenty of boiling water, to package instructions, but leaving a little on the âal denteâ firm side. Drain.

Meanwhile, brown the meat, onions and garlic in oil, with salt and pepper, until meat is cooked and onion is tender. Drain.

Bring beef broth and Marsala wine to a boil. Mix flour and water together and add slowly to liquid, whisking and returning to a boil after each time you add some. You want to thicken the mixture to a consistency of gravy.

Mix the meat mixture, the broth, the macaroni, the peppers, ½ cup of the cheese together. Load into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and put into the preheated oven for an hour.

Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and heat for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Recycled Recipes for 2?

My hubby and I are alone this week and on a budget. Any ideas for cheap recipes that you can maybe get a different meal out of the following night. Use leftovers to make something new? Or, any cheap meal ideas?

Answer
You could make roast chicken one night and then the next night use the leftovers to make enchiladas. Meatloaf is an inexpensive meal with mashed potatoes and a veggie - it is good the next night with gravy. Chili is another meal that does not cost much and the next night you can have chili mac or make a pot of pasta sauce and one night have spaghetti and the next night ravioli.

Need some easy ground turkey recipes....?

Amy

recently switched from beef to turkey out of curiosity for taste and now i can't get enough!
i need ideas now for how to cook the ground turkey... i've taken my favorite ground beef recipes and already made those...
stuffed peppers, meatloaf, meatballs, burgers, "hamburger helper" type casseroles (noodles, veggies, sauce or cheese...)

anyone have any other quick turkey recipes? i say quick because i have done alot of web browsing but seem to find recipes that either require over an hour to prepare (sorry, no time for that on weekdays after work) or more than 20 ingredients/rare ingredients...

anyone?

Answer
Do you like soups? Here are some recommendations form a friend's recipe box...


You could try this chili:

* 2 cans of condensed tomato soup
* 1 can of tomato paste
* 1 packet of chili mix
* about ½ cup of water
* 1 tsp. of beef bullion
* 1 can light red kidney beans
* however much ground meat was leftover from last night
* 1 tsp. cumin
* 1 tsp. black pepper
* a dash of cayenne pepper
* a dash of paprika
* a dash of garlic

...and I slapped it into the crock pot on low for 8 hours.


9 Can vegetable soup:

Nine Can Vegetable Soup

* 2 cans Hormel chili, any variety
* 1 can vegetable soup
* 1 can green beans
* 1 can sliced new potatoes
* 1 can mixed vegetables
* 1 can corn
* 2 cans diced tomatoes (for extra kick, use a can of tomatoes with green chilies in place of one can of diced tomatoes).



Optional: 1lb ground meat*

Dump the entire contents of every can into the crockpot - liquid and all.

*Brown turkey or beef and drain and add to veggies in crockpot. Heat on low all day, or on high for less than 2 hours.

I think I make this different every time. I usually only use 1 can of diced tomatoes... and substitute a can of beans or whatever looks good, or maybe an extra can of vegetable soup. This time I used Beef with Barley & Vegetables as the soup, and the diced tomatoes with roasted garlic. Also, I usually get the Hormel chili, one can with beans, one can without.

cooking for lunch... recipes?

Q. Anyone have any recipes for an easy lunch. I find that I can make dinners but for some reason lunch is a challenge. I don't want to make a two hour lunch and I have 5 children to cook for, when there is no school. I can't even seem to grocery shop well to accommodate lunch!

Answer
Sandwiches i.e. ham & cheese, tuna/chicken salad, chicken or turkey breast, lettuce & tomatoes. Have a little side of cold potato or mac salad. Keep lots of fresh fruit around to go with - apples, bananas, oranges, raisins, grapes, yogurt or little pudding cups, fruit salad or a few chips. Kid ideas - mac n cheese, sloppy joes, kabobs (fruit w a yogurt dipping sauce or chicken nuggets). If you make meatloaf or meatballs the night before, make a meatloaf or meatball sanwich. Cold pasta salads are healthy, and you can add in any veggies, cherry tomatoes, and dressing (i.e. Italian etc.). Make the sandwiches interesting - roll em up in a flour tortilla or use a star shaped cookie cutter for the bread. Or little min pizzas on a flour tortilla - lay out the toppings & let the kids have fun making their own. Eggs/frittatas are easy - add in mushrooms, onions, shredded cheese.

My hubby and I are alone this week and on a budget. Any ideas for cheap recipes that you can maybe get a different meal out of the following night. Use leftovers to make something new? Or, any cheap meal ideas?

Answer
You could make roast chicken one night and then the next night use the leftovers to make enchiladas. Meatloaf is an inexpensive meal with mashed potatoes and a veggie - it is good the next night with gravy. Chili is another meal that does not cost much and the next night you can have chili mac or make a pot of pasta sauce and one night have spaghetti and the next night ravioli.

What to eat on a low carb diet such as Atkins?

beth

I am trying to do a low carb diet and I was wondering what should I eat in order to make the diet most effective and efficient? I know cut out all breads, pastas, sweets, etc...but what veggies are okay and what isn't? the obvious potatoes and other starchy vegetables I know. Can someone please fill me in or give me a website to refer to. thanks!

Answer
During the first 2 weeks, you can have several cups of salads. Jicama, cucumber, celery & radish marinated in sesame oil & hot pepper flakes with rice wine vinegar & artificial sweetener. Make a stir fry with Bok Choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, celery, mushrooms, shirataki noodles & your fav meats. I love eggs and could eat deviled eggs every day. You can smother omelets & meats with mushrooms & peppers & cheese. Meatzza - Meatloaf with pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella) I prefer very thin sausage patties fried crispy with pizza toppings. Pork rinds & celery sticks are great crunch and can be eaten with dips (avocado/mayo/cayenne is my fav) & tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salads. I love love love my rotisserie and it makes the meats extra tasty. I cook a turkey every couple of months and make soup with the bones (add vinegar to leach minerals) and turkey salads. I'll cube up some turkey meat mix in a couple of raw eggs add cheese (and broccoli after induction) with cayenne powder & nuke a couple of minutes for nearly instant meal. Flax seed should be eaten 2T daily even in induction.

Ground flax seed (2-3 Tbsp) 1/4 cup of water, cinnamon, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle and nuke for 1.5 min. for hot cereal or 2 min. for more of a muffin type thing. Great low carb, high fiber treat.

After the 2 week induction, you add 5 grams of carbs per day every week and add a much greater variety of non starchy vegetables. Change your mindset - eat what you like to eat, just adapt it to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli
I eat all my favorite Chinese, Italian, even Mexican foods with low carb foods. Cabbage makes an excellent pasta substitute (for me) Make a lasagna with blanched cabbage leaves & thinly fried eggplant instead of noodles. Sugar free pasta sauce over fried cabbage. My fav is chicken cacciatore, I add greens & flaxseed or chia seed for body and also add pizza toppings - pepperoni, mushrooms, lots of mozzarrella. Alfredo sauce is also low carb.

I don't cook often. I usually make huge batches of food & freeze most of it. I cook meats 20-30# at a time (for just me) I have gone into the forums for recipes (especially when I first started low carb) I was shocked that fried "rice" made with grated cauliflower tasted just like it's name sake. Shirataki noodles are traditional in Japanese sukiyaki and low carb. I've heard faux mashed "taters" made with cauliflower & cream cheese can fool non low carbers. "potato" salad using cauliflower instead.

Hope I've given you a start, I just don't cook much but many recipes abound. Adapt what you've always eaten first (I bet someone has a recipe for it or low carb version) and then start exploring.

Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food (when you can splurge some - Amazon.com has couple lbs. for $16 shipped to you. I buy mine in bulk - 24# for $6# with free shipping at getchia.com

I also order off Amazon - Lowrey's Pork Rinds 18 for $15 - they pop like popcorn and are portion controlled.

Faux tapioca - 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk (or cream and added water during induction) & artificial sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.

(berries are lowest glycemic) Cheesecake - strawberry ice cream (frozen berries, cream, a stick blender) - pork rinds great crunch - i eat lots of fish for snack (fish "steaks" or mackerel in tins are favs)- avocado/mayo/cayenne dip - olives

Pumpkin soup
* 1 (12 ounce) package Jimmy Dean sausage
* 1/2 cup onion, minced
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
* 1-2 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
* 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
* 4 cups chicken broth
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup water

Directions
1.Brown sausage, drain, then add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and mushrooms and sauté until done.
2. Add pumpkin to this mixture and mix well.
3.Then stir in the broth and mix well.
4. Simmer 20-30 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and water and simmer on low another 10-15 minute Taste and add salt& pepper as needed.

Why does healthy food have to taste so bad?

ya_bish

when i look up healthy recipes, it's always some plain tasting bullshit that i would never eat. it's always something like "roast chicken with rosemary" or "bread crumb baked chicken fingers". they never have other types of foods besides stereotypical american food that my family never eats. my mom is from the philippines, so she makes a lot of filipino food. and my dad is black, so we also eat southern style food too sometimes. does anyone know any healthy recipies that aren't boring and dull?

here are some shitty recipes i've found just to give a reference:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Herbed-Chicken-Nuggets/Detail.aspx?evt19=1
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Turkey-Veggie-Meatloaf-Cups/Detail.aspx?evt19=1

Answer
It depends on what you are talking about when you say "healthy food".
I eat a very low fat, good carb, high protein diet and I'm sorry but it tastes a million times better than the nasty fatty traditional American diet. I cannot stand fat and grease in everything. In fact my digestive system physically cannot handle it after a while anymore. I've been eating healthy too long.
So no, healthy food does not taste bad.

I think what you are complaining about is the fact that it doesn't taste like what you want it to taste like (fatty food). Sorry but it's not going to taste anything like nasty unhealthy food.
That's the biggest issue that American's have. They are too used to eating disgusting and nasty food that anything "healthy" isn't good enough.
It's like why an alcoholic will complain if all you are giving them is light beer vs. hard liquor.

You will not be able to knock off unhealthy food and make it taste good healthy. When you make non-fat mac and cheese it isn't going to have the same flavor and texture you are looking for.
However those foods like mac and cheese should be consumed in moderation. Eat the unhealthy kind every now and then to get your fix. But if you are looking for unhealthy replacements because that is all you eat, it's time to re-evaulate your whole diet.

It does take time to get used to healthy food. Your body is addicted to fat, sodium, and cholesterol.

To answer the question I know plenty of healthy recipes.
Most of the recipes you use now can be made healthy when you only prepare them with non-fat or low fat diary products, lean meat (sirloin steak, NO less than 93/7 ground beef, and boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs are NOT healthy skinless or not.)), and you replace carbs with the whole wheat or high fiber options. Plus add more veggies. Each meal should have a fruit or veggie (1-3 servings).

What to eat on a low carb diet such as Atkins?

beth

I am trying to do a low carb diet and I was wondering what should I eat in order to make the diet most effective and efficient? I know cut out all breads, pastas, sweets, etc...but what veggies are okay and what isn't? the obvious potatoes and other starchy vegetables I know. Can someone please fill me in or give me a website to refer to. thanks!

Answer
During the first 2 weeks, you can have several cups of salads. Jicama, cucumber, celery & radish marinated in sesame oil & hot pepper flakes with rice wine vinegar & artificial sweetener. Make a stir fry with Bok Choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, celery, mushrooms, shirataki noodles & your fav meats. I love eggs and could eat deviled eggs every day. You can smother omelets & meats with mushrooms & peppers & cheese. Meatzza - Meatloaf with pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella) I prefer very thin sausage patties fried crispy with pizza toppings. Pork rinds & celery sticks are great crunch and can be eaten with dips (avocado/mayo/cayenne is my fav) & tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salads. I love love love my rotisserie and it makes the meats extra tasty. I cook a turkey every couple of months and make soup with the bones (add vinegar to leach minerals) and turkey salads. I'll cube up some turkey meat mix in a couple of raw eggs add cheese (and broccoli after induction) with cayenne powder & nuke a couple of minutes for nearly instant meal. Flax seed should be eaten 2T daily even in induction.

Ground flax seed (2-3 Tbsp) 1/4 cup of water, cinnamon, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle and nuke for 1.5 min. for hot cereal or 2 min. for more of a muffin type thing. Great low carb, high fiber treat.

After the 2 week induction, you add 5 grams of carbs per day every week and add a much greater variety of non starchy vegetables. Change your mindset - eat what you like to eat, just adapt it to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli
I eat all my favorite Chinese, Italian, even Mexican foods with low carb foods. Cabbage makes an excellent pasta substitute (for me) Make a lasagna with blanched cabbage leaves & thinly fried eggplant instead of noodles. Sugar free pasta sauce over fried cabbage. My fav is chicken cacciatore, I add greens & flaxseed or chia seed for body and also add pizza toppings - pepperoni, mushrooms, lots of mozzarrella. Alfredo sauce is also low carb.

I don't cook often. I usually make huge batches of food & freeze most of it. I cook meats 20-30# at a time (for just me) I have gone into the forums for recipes (especially when I first started low carb) I was shocked that fried "rice" made with grated cauliflower tasted just like it's name sake. Shirataki noodles are traditional in Japanese sukiyaki and low carb. I've heard faux mashed "taters" made with cauliflower & cream cheese can fool non low carbers. "potato" salad using cauliflower instead.

Hope I've given you a start, I just don't cook much but many recipes abound. Adapt what you've always eaten first (I bet someone has a recipe for it or low carb version) and then start exploring.

Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food (when you can splurge some - Amazon.com has couple lbs. for $16 shipped to you. I buy mine in bulk - 24# for $6# with free shipping at getchia.com

I also order off Amazon - Lowrey's Pork Rinds 18 for $15 - they pop like popcorn and are portion controlled.

Faux tapioca - 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk (or cream and added water during induction) & artificial sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.

(berries are lowest glycemic) Cheesecake - strawberry ice cream (frozen berries, cream, a stick blender) - pork rinds great crunch - i eat lots of fish for snack (fish "steaks" or mackerel in tins are favs)- avocado/mayo/cayenne dip - olives

Pumpkin soup
* 1 (12 ounce) package Jimmy Dean sausage
* 1/2 cup onion, minced
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
* 1-2 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
* 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
* 4 cups chicken broth
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup water

Directions
1.Brown sausage, drain, then add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and mushrooms and sauté until done.
2. Add pumpkin to this mixture and mix well.
3.Then stir in the broth and mix well.
4. Simmer 20-30 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and water and simmer on low another 10-15 minute Taste and add salt& pepper as needed.

What should I make for dinner and dessert?

turkey veggie meatloaf cups recipe image

sweetdollf

Hello,
I'm vegan and I normally cook only vegan food but I'm getting married soon and my boyfriend eats poultry, fish and drinks milk and I want to make him a full homemade meal just for him but I don't know what to make because I don't cook with those things. I've never cooked for him before so I want it to be really special. He loves chicken, beans, and rice so I need a really good recipe with these. I also want to make him a really good dessert. Something you've made before and everyone loved. Thank you!

Answer
You can use ground chicken or turkey or even crumbled tofu with soy sauce-- and he may never know that there was no meat with tofu-- just use ample BBQ sauce to mix

Shepard's Pie:
-Brown 1 pound beef/ ground turkey
-Add 1-2 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup ketchup
-Cover and simmer 20 minutes
-Coat casserole dish w/ nonstick cooking spray

1st Layer - meat sauce
2nd Layer - Green beans and corn
3rd Layer - mashed potatoes
Top with cheddar cheese (as much as you want)

350 degrees (preheated oven) for 30 minutes - bake uncovered


Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground meat
1 slice of bread

preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix sauce together until smooth and set aside

Add all ingredients together. Put in a loaf pan. Pour suace over and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Do this whether you use the sauce or not

or

Try Zatarain's Dirty Rice or Jambalaya Mix. With the dirty rice mix you have to use ground beef. With the Jambalaya Mix you can use chicken or smoked sausage.( *It taste best with sausage).

My version of ghoulash:

Ground Beef with vegetarain beans(pork and beans without the pork) with chopped onions, picante sauce, and tomato sauce. Serve over white rice.

Pasta Salad with veggies: Tri-colored rotini pasta with chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and green olives. Mix with Robusto Italian Dressing. Add a little seasoned salt and black pepper. Chill in the frig.

Chicken Pettazini:

Spaghetti with chopped, grilled, boneless chicken breast, Four Cheese white sauce or the Roasted Garlic and Parmesan cheese white sauce. You can also add green pepper if you like.

French bread
chocolate chips or chunks/morsels/etc

To help make food a bit more healthy you can use wheat and whole grain pasta's, rice, and bread. Use fresh or frozen veggies. Lean meats. Eat ground turkey instead of ground beef. Do not fry your foods. Bake, steam, grill or broil. Chose a healthy oil if you must use oil. Do not add sugar and salt to foods. Try herbs and spices instead. And above all else use portion control. Read labels to find out portion sizes and go by that. If you must have seconds, make it veggies. Try this site for healthy recipes: http://www.dlife.com, it is a diabetic site, but you can search recipes by what you are looking for. Example, say you want low calories, well then you can just search for low calorie recipes, or if you want low salt, you can search just low salt recipes. This is a great site, even if you don't have diabetes. I hope this helps you some. Good luck on eating healthy.
