Can you believe it? It totally forgot to take a picture of dinner. Even after six weeks of photographing my food, it still doesn't feel very natural. In any event, we ate turkey tacos last night. My mother-in-law sent me a package of fat free whole wheat tortillas before she left town. I love having something new to plan a meal around.
After dicing the turkey, I heated it in some bottled salsa. To that I added some of my homemade yogurt to make it a little creamy. I also heated a can of black beans with some garlic salt and cumin. Add a little rice and then put the burritos together. They were delicious, even without cheese.
Although I didn't take picture of dinner, I did take pictures of a freezer meal I also made with the leftover turkey. It's a take on one by the Pioneer Woman you can find here. I made only half a recipe because I used my homemade cheese and didn't have enough for a full recipe. But no worries, a half recipe will feed the family. When I've made this before there were lots of leftovers.
Here is what I did:
1 1/2 c. broken whole wheat spaghetti, cooked
1 1/2 c. diced turkey
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 T. dehydrated peppers
2 T. dehydrated onions
1 c. diced homemade mozzarella
1 c. hot water from the spaghetti mixed with 1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 t. seasoned salt
2 small pinches cayenne pepper
I mixed all these ingredients in a bowl and then dumped it into a Ziploc plastic container. I love to freeze casseroles in these. When the time is right, I just pop it out into an oven dish and bake. I topped things off with the rest of my homemade cheese, diced and sprinkled on top. I can't wait to try this!
I have enough turkey to make one more freezer meal. I am thinking about a pot pie with the left over gravy. (That small 5 lb. turkey made 4 meals! Not bad!) The leftover potatoes are going on top a shepherd's pie. All three of these freezer meals are going to help out next week during the big move!
