Turkey Meat Loaf II

Brand new turkey loaf recipe! I'm really starting to enjoy the possibilities of turkey.


1 lb ground turkey
1 10oz can Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies
2 tbsp onions, diced
1 tbsp bell peppers, diced
3/4 cup spinach, chopped, frozen
3 tbsp bread crumbs
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Spices: salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika


Preheat oven 450 degrees. In large bowl add turkey, rotel, onions, peppers, spinach, olive oil, and spices. Mix well. Place into loaf pan. Pour tomato sauce on top, place into oven and bake for 45 mins. Pull loaf out of oven, sprinkle cheese on top, place in oven again until cheese is melted. 




Enjoy with sides!! Mashed potatoes are a classic :)


Chicken Thigh Skillet

Sorry I haven't posted much in the last few months. Mostly money woos, and no food to make recipes with at home. But I'm slowly getting better.....yea! And now I present to you chicken thigh skillet!!


3-4 skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 medium zucchini, diced
5 white mushrooms, diced
2 tbsp onions, diced
2 tbsp bell peppers, diced (I have a container of pre-diced tri-peppers)
1/2 cup brown rice
4 oz heavy cream
salt, black pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, olive oil


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In cast iron skillet heat olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle spices onto chicken. Once skillet is heated, place chicken thighs in, carefully. Cook chicken for 20 mins, 10 on each side. As the chicken is cooking, dice up vegetables. (Not only did I have a container of diced peppers, also had a container of diced onions......yes I am a cheat! LOL) Remove chicken and place to side, add mushrooms, zucchini, onions, and peppers. Saute for until veggies are slightly tender. Add rice and heavy cream, cook for about 5 mins.



 Add the chicken, stir. Place in oven, bake for 30 mins.

ENJOY!!
