Turkey and Faux Ricotta Wedges













I have no idea what people know about kosher eating.  To explain this recipe, I will share one fact with you.  Eating kosher means not mixing meat and dairy.  We don't serve both at the same meal and certainly, we do not cook with both.


When Tofutti came out with a new product, a non dairy ricotta, I thought I would make something with meat and the tofutti.  I, already use the sour cream and cream cheese.  I made this dish with browned turkey and some good vegetables and the tofutti ricotta.  When, it came time to eat it, I found it very hard to do.  It just looked too real.


Others that ate it said it was good so I will share that.  I still have some in the refrigerator and will most likely, taste it, later.

Turkey and Faux Ricotta Wedges (I found this online iFood TV. It is from the Better Homes and Garden New Dieters Cook Book.

Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground turkey or turkey sausage
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 beaten eggs
1 15 ounce container Tofutti  ricotta (non dairy) cheese
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
2 medium tomatoes, sliced

Method:

In a large skillet cook turkey, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, oregano, and garlic till turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Drain off liquid.

Spoon mixture into a 9 inch pie plate.

In a medium mixing bowl stir together eggs, Tofutti ricotta cheese, parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.  Spread over turkey mixture.

Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven for 25 to 30 minutes or till top is set.
Arrange tomatoes on top of casserole. Bake 5 minutes more or till cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

    Nice combination of ingredients, and the whole dish looks very quick and easy. For myself I would use regular ricotta (I usually make my own), but I can see that the Tofutti is perfect for a kosher diet.

    Thanks for sharing at Cookbook Sundays.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
