Topic: RE: Turkey for one?

I've always eaten high fat/low carb.  It often has the best results for weight loss pre-op, too.

Here's the recipe I use. :)  It's super easy.  I scale it up or down.  It makes any protein taste better.

 

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I've always preferred white meat chicken over other proteins....although I do like ground beef.

I do a high fat diet too...but that is a result of my "new" innards.

How do you. Make a sage butter sauce. That sounds AWESOME!!!!

Topic: RE: Turkey for one?

I usually eat steak for breakfast when I do eat it, heh.

I'll definitely check the ham out, too.  I normally detest white meat (I eat a very high fat diet - ketogenic) but I'll be freezing the turkey white meat with sage brown butter sauce, which will help considerably.

You defintely can freeze it. Turkey holds up pretty well. Plus there is so much you can do with it. Eat it as is, use it in soups, make it into a "Sheppards pie", put it on top of salads, etc. I don't think i'd buy a whole turkey though since I mostly only like the white meat. I'd buy the whole breasts though and make that.

Another good bargain this time of year is ham. Another protein that holds up to freezing...and is very versatile....it can also be used as a breakfast food.

I always used to buy just the frozen turkey breasts.  Now I have no idea why I never tried this!  Thanks so much :)

I love turkey and a cook quite a few of them through out the year. That's what I would do is just freeze up portions, it stays good for 4 to 6 months after you cook it, so go for it!

Topic: Turkey for one?

Meijer has whole turkey 42 cents a pound.  That's incredible for protein.  I was wondering if its feasible to buy for one person and prepare it, then freeze the meat and stuff in 6oz portions.  Is this a gargantuan effort and will make me sick of turkey forever? Thoughts?

Topic: Mock Panda Express Mushroom Chicken :)

I made this without the cornstarch (the cornstarch adds 21g of carbs, for the curious.  It came out pretty decent.  If you really wanted to you could probably just leave it, though, as it makes decent sized servings.  I doubled the amount of chicken and used thighs instead, and I also didn't add rice wine vinegar.  Easier than actually going to Panda Express!

Topic: RE: Spaghetti squash fritters

Sounded good, so I entered this in MyFitnessPal to get stats.  Recipe says it makes eight fritters, so I calculated it as four servings of two fritters each.  Used coconut flour in recipe.
