CHEF NOTES

​​​To Assemble Tacos​​

  1. Plan to do 2 tacos per person.  You will use 1/2 burger for the 2 tacos.

  2. ​Cut or crumble 1/2 cooked burger into small pieces.  Place in microwave         for 15-30 seconds to get hot.​

  3. Heat a nonstick pan to medium on the stove with nothing in it.  Place tortilla in pan for 5-10 seconds to warm and flip over.  Add 1-Tablespoon cheese on each tortilla and heat 5-10 more seconds.  Place on plate to fill.

  4. ​Add warmed turkey on top of cheese.  Then add whatever vegetable toppings, salsa, or hot sauce you would like to use.

​

NOTE:

  • This recipe is setup for 1 Adult portions.  Plan on 1 Taco for children

  • You can add other flavor options like Pico de Gallo, Salsa, Hot Sauce, chopped Cilantro and Jalapenos if you wish

  • Don't add more cheese so it stays healthier for you

  • Try to get soft corn tortillas if able (as most are made for frying and are very dry and crack easily)

  • You can use flour tortillas, but the soft corn ones are best

  • Tortillas soften up when heated, but microwaving them dries them out​

Pasta with Veggie & Meat Sauce

Ingredient List

1 batch   Veggie & Meat Sauce*

1 pound  Pasta* (your choice of shape)

1 Tbsp  Salt (for pasta water)

4 Tbsp  Parmesan Cheese (1 Tbsp per person)

AMAYW*   Salad Greens (3-4 cups per person)

AMAYW*   Fresh Tomatoes

8 Tbsp  Italian Dressing* (2 Tbsp per person)

For Sauce  (See Recipe & Watch Video on making 3 Tomato Sauces)​​

  1.  Heat this sauce up to a simmer.​

  2.  Everything is cooked already in this sauce so you just need to heat it up.

​

​For Pasta   (See Recipe & Watch Video on Cooking Pasta)

  1. ​​Put 4 quarts of water in a pot on high heat.  Add salt and bring up to a full boil.

  2. ​​Add pasta and stir to separate. Return to heavy simmer.

  3. Stir only 2-3 times while cooking to ensure it isn't clumping together.  Check box for how long to cook it (see video on this)

  4. ​Drain pasta when done and divide into bowls.  Evenly spoon the warm meat sauce over the hot pasta.

  5. ​If you wish, add about 1 Tablespoon of parmesan cheese on top.

​

NOTE:

  • This recipe is setup for 4 Adult portions.  If using pasta you cooked ahead, plan on 2-cups of cooked pasta for adults and 1 to 1-2 cups cooked pasta for kids.  Watch video to see how to cook pasta ahead and reheat it in the microwave.

  • Don't add more cheese or dressing over what you see above so it stays      healthy for you

CHEF NOTES

  • Everything in the Veggie & Meat sauce is cooked so it just needs to be heated up

  • You can use pasta that has been prepped ahead and microwaved.  Add 1/2 Tbsp butter per person to pasta before heating and then toss when hot.

  • AMAYW = As Much As You Want!

  • You can find the dressing recipe & video in Sides & Flavors

Turkey Enchilada Casserole
w/ Tossed Salad Greens

Ingredient List

2 each  Turkey Burgers, cooked

8 each  6" Corn Tortillas, cut or torn

1 can 10.5oz  Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 can 19oz  Enchilada Sauce

2 cups  Vegetables, fresh or frozen (thawed)

3/4 cup  Mixed Cheese

1/4 cup  Mixed Cheese

  1. When ready to put this together, preheat oven to 375F.

  2. In large mixing bowl, add everything EXCEPT the 1/4 cup mixed cheese

  3. Mix everything up well in bowl and then pour into a oven-safe casserole dish

  4. Spread out evenly and sprinkle the last 1/4 cup of cheese over the top

  5. Bake until casserole is hot and bubbling

  6. Remove and let rest for 15-20 minutes and then ready to eat!

CHEF NOTES

  • Everything is cooked so just heating in oven

  • do large pieces of the tortillas when tearing or cutting

  • If using frozen vegetables, thaw ahead or just heat some in microwave to thaw

  • I list can ozs for the ones I used, your may be a little different which is fine

NOTE:

  • This recipe is setup for 4 Adult portions.  Plan on about half the amounts for children

  • This is a GREAT recipe to do ahead and freeze

  • You can also portion this into smaller amounts after you make this recipe if this is too large for your family

  • For example: You can make this recipe but just put half in a pan to cook now for a meal and put the other half in a pan and freeze for a later meal.
