We’re going to show you how to create delicious and nutritious oven-baked turkey meatballs that incorporate a 50-50 blend of vegetables and ground meat. This innovative approach not only enhances the flavor and nutritional value of your meatballs but also helps reduce the overall cost of your meal. By starting with raw onions, carrots, and celery and converting them into a savory vegetable medley, we’ll be able to create tender and moist turkey meatballs that are bursting with flavor. To take it up a level, we are going to add Frank’s hot sauce and blue cheese TWICE–both into the meatballs and drizzled and sprinkled on top. Let’s get started!
We love this salad because its simple preparation is a great way to utilize a leftover half of a rotisserie chicken or one of our favorite pantry staples: a can of garbanzo beans. You can pretty much add any vegetables to this, with the goal being to have equal parts chicken or chickpeas to vegetables, fruit, nuts and or seeds. Cabbage, carrot, celery, some sort of bunch of herbs, citrus and green onions are staples in our refrigerators, so this salad comes together quickly.
CHEF’S TIP: The dash of hot sauce adds a very subtle heat component, and its acidity pops the flavors of the lemon, garlic and spices. Top this delicious, colorful salad with nuts or seeds for an extra crunch of flavor and fiber. If you are using canned chickpeas, save the protein-rich liquid and add it to a soup or stew.

This hybrid cooking method combines pan-searing and poaching and produces perfectly cooked salmon that will not stick to the pan or fill your house up with the smell of cooked fish.

This is a wonderful winter salad and a terrific alternative to the traditional green salad. Jicama is full of fiber and the flavor boost from the oranges are a terrific source of vitamin C. The mint and onion round out the flavors and take this salad to the next level. Don’t be afraid to add a little heat by substituting a portion of the chili powder with ancho or chipotle chili powder.
Substitute ⅛ tsp of the chili powder with ground chipotle chili powder or substitute ¼ tsp of the chili powder for ¼ tsp ancho chili powder. Substitute blood oranges for regular oranges.
Add pomegranate seeds and/or toasted pumpkin seeds. Add a little flavorful cheese such as crumbled feta or Cotija cheese. Add finely diced jalapeno for more spice.
