Answer 2

You might want to look at the nutritional values and fat levels of your turkey and chicken in comparison with extra lean ground beef. I was stunned to see that turkey outdid lean ground beef in the fat dept. ! Anyway, here are some ideas for your meals:

1. Chicken marinated in lime juice and tequilla and grilled. Serve with pico de gallo, fat free sour cream,grilled peppers and onions, and low fat tortillas.
2. Turkey tenderloins marinated in fat free Italian dressing overnight and grilled with portabello mushrooms. Serve with baked potatoes and fresh green beans.
3. Baked chicken tenders: boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into tenders and marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce. Drain and roll in a mixture of panko bread crumbs, 2 T parmesan cheese, and season salt. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, turning once. Serve with fat free ranch dressing and carrot and celery stix.
4 Turkey breast stuffed with low fat feta cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, fresh parseley, and 2 T bread crumbs. Season generously with salt and pepper and bake in a 350 degree oven until cooked thru. Serve with wild rice pilaf and french style green beans.
