A Quick Dinner

When I get home from work, sometimes (okay pretty much ALL the time) I have no desire whatsoever to cook.

Thankfully I found this recipe in one of my Clean Eating magazines that is quick, easy and tastes awesome.

Microwave Turkey Jacket Potato

3 oz Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast
1 Lrg baking potato
2 T salsa
2 T low fat sour cream
Italian seasoning, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Brown ground turkey over medium heat until cooked through, about 10 - 12 minutes.

2. Pierce potato with a fork and place inside a clean, damp paper bag. Microwave on high for approximately 3 minutes. Turn it over, and cook another 3 minutes. Let is cool for about 5 minutes. Slice open potato. Scoop out center, leaving about 1/4 inch for stability.

3. Mash scooped-out potato with other ingredients, and then stuff mixture back into potato skin. If you wish, you can microwave it again for about 1 minute so that it's very hot.


I normally use a sweet potato or yam instead of baking potato and I've never used a paper bag, I just put it right in the microwave after I've pierced it. It works just fine.

You may think that it doesn't look like very much, but be assured, it is very filling. I normally just pair it with some steamed or raw veggies and I'm good to go.

A great tip on this one is to fry up the turkey and then freeze it in prepackaged portions so all you have to do is just take a bag out of the freezer, heat it and voila ... food!

Anyone else have any quick meal ideas?

Have a great week and hope you are all finding some tips in the posts that can help you with your Clean Eating journey.
