Meat Share March 10, 2005

Ground Turkey ~ Boneless Chicken Breasts ~ Chicken Apple Sausage ~ Pasta ~ Cheese

 

Oh, yummy, we have some cool things in the veggie share to make: Chili-Pumpkin Pesto (see recipe in the veggie sheet) Let’s use it to make:

Chicken Quesadillas

4 whole wheat flour tortillas

2 boneless chicken breasts – pan grilled and cubed

1 cup grated cheese – Colby or cheddar or motz – whatever you like

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons butter

chili-pumpkin pesto

Spread the pesto on each tortilla. Sprinkle about a ½ cup of chicken on one half of each; then sprinkle with each of the cheeses. Fold the tortillas in half. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and put in the dillas. Give each side 2 to 3 minutes until they start to brown and the cheese is meltty. Take out and cut to four pieces and eat ‘um up as soon as they are cool enough to get into your mouth

This cute pasta would makes a lovely baked pasta dish

Baked Pasta Dish

1 pound pasta – a little undercooked and drained

½ package chicken apple sausage – cut into little pieces

1 pound ground turkey

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 Anner’s meat sauce kit

½ pound cheese – cubed or grated I usually use any bits of leftover fairly mild cheese. This is a great way to have those bits and pieces not go to waste. In fact when you have a piece like that, cube it up and freeze it in a ziplock bag and just keep adding to it ‘til you are ready to make something like this.

½ cup grated parmesan

Brown the meat in the oil. Add the meat sauce kit and let simmer 10 minutes. Now smear just a little of it on the bottom of a “pammed” baking dish. Now put in a layer of noodles, a layer of cheese and spoon on a layer of sauce. Repeat and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Eat all you want and freeze the rest for a quicky dinner anytime you need it.

 

 

Now have a wonderful weekend and remember to eat healthy – it’s more fun!

Love, Anner, Ed and Jill
