Saturday, May 28, 2011

This was the busiest week of the year for me!  So...I didn't cook "real" food.  It was anything fast and anything you could find.

I did make this on Thursday night, on our way out the door to another soccer game.  It was so good!  Everyone either really loved it...or really just missed real food!  Here goes:

Pica Dio Tacos
(This is adapted a tiny bit, from my good friend, Myla's recipe!)

1 lb. ground turkey
1 cup chopped onion (I only use about one Tbl)
2 cloves garlic

Brown and saute.  Mix in the following:

1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes
2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp cumin
4 Tbl cilantro

Simmer until thickened.  Serve on flour tortillas, sour cream and lettuce.

So yummy!


This was Saturday's rainy day dinner.  This was so good too.  The kids kept saying how good it was.
Herbed Turkey Burgers
(Pink Parsley)
makes 4 burgers

1 Tbs olive oil, divided
3 Tbs finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp minced fresh thyme (1/4 tsp dried)
2 tsp minced fresh rosemary (1/2 tsp. dried)
2 tsp minced fresh sage (1/2 tsp. dried)
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
4 slices Havarti cheese (I used swiss)

For serving, tomato slices, onion, lettuce, and buns
Prepare grill for cooking over medium high heat.

In a small saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.  Add the onions and green pepper and cook until soft and transluscent, about 3-5 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl combine the turkey, onions, peppers and garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, rosemary, sage, mustard, and red pepper flakes.

Shape the meat into 4 equal-sized patties.

Oil the grill and cook the burgers 4-6 minutes per side, or until they are evenly browned and cooked through.  Add a cheese slice to each burger, close the grill, and cook just until the cheese has melted.  Toast the buns if desired.  Serve with lettuce, tomato, and onion.
