Outside-In Turkey Tamale Pie   Get ready for an amazingly comforting, scoopable, Mexican-inspired dish, because HERE... IT... IS!!! Just a warning: This stuff is hauntingly delicious!   Ingredients: 1 1/4 lbs. raw lean ground turkey 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup fat-free chicken or vegetable broth One 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes with chills 1 small onion, chopped 3/4 cup canned sweet corn, drained 1/2 cup canned kidney beans, drained 1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained 2 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. ground cumin Optional toppings: fat-free shredded cheddar cheese, fat-free sour cream   Directions: Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove.

Gather

2 pounds boneless/skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces. 1-2 Tablespoons coconut oil 2 cups broccoli florets ¼ cup low sodium chicken stock ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari sauce 1 Tablespoon sriracha sauce 1 Tablespoon honey 1 Tablespoon sesame oil ¼ cup orange juice 2 teaspoon corn starch ½ teaspoon ground ginger or 1 inch fresh finely chopped ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic minced For the 'Rice' 1 head cauliflower 1 Tablespoon coconut oil ¼ cup low sodium chicken stock Salt & pepper to taste 3 scallions sliced thin

Step by step

For the Chicken & Broccoli For the faux rice

1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium/high heat.
2. Brown and cook chicken pieces in batches about 2 minutes per side or 4 minutes per batch. Do not overcrowd the skillet!
3. Place cooked chicken on a plate and keep warm.
4. Combine the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, sesame oil, orange juice, ground ginger, garlic powder and corn starch.
5. Whisk to combine the ingredients (OR if you use fresh ginger and garlic instead of the powder, sauté for about 30 seconds to one minute in the skillet after you’ve removed the chicken).
6. Add ¼ cup chicken stock and continue cooking for another minute stirring constantly and scraping up brown bits.
7. Add the sauce and bring to a boil.
8. Add the broccoli and stir to coat and cook for a minute or two.
9. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the broccoli and sauce.
10. Simmer uncovered for another two minutes stirring often.
11. At this point you can turn the burner off and cover the skillet to keep warm and to finish cooking the broccoli.
12. Using the grater attachment for your food processor, grate the cauliflower. One head of cauliflower makes about 4 cups of faux rice.
13. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
14. When oil is hot, add the cauliflower and stir to coat with the oil.
15. Add ¼ cup chicken stock to the cauliflower and cover to steam.
16. Stir occasionally and cook over medium heat testing periodically.
17. The texture should be like steamed white rice.
18. Watch closely because the cauliflower can quickly become mushy/overcooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
19. Stir in 2/3 of the sliced scallions, reserving the remaining 1/3 for garnish.
20. Serve the chicken and broccoli with the faux rice topped with the remaining scallions, sriracha and soy sauce.

Been looking too.  So much of the recipes I found do have crazy ingredients.

 

I still have another...

• 52 days or
• 4,492,800 seconds or
• 74,880 minutes or
• 1248 hours

but who's counting lol!  I'm am struggling with cravings and overeating so bad.  The harder I try to eat healthy the more I end up binging on foods and craving like I never did before.  I'm a mess!

I've decided to replace 2 meals a day with protein shakes and ramp up my vitamins and water to try and get back to some form of normalcy before I gain back the weight I lost in prep for surgery.

I'm looking for low cal/ high protein shakes.  I have natural flavored whey protein at home and don't really want to buy new stuff as of now but I think I can adapt recipes using that as a base.

If you have any "tested" recipes I would love to have them!

Thanks and God bless,
