Turkey Quesadilla

The other day for lunch I was staring in my refrigerator thinking lunch is the HARDEST meal to come up with! I never really come up with a good healthy meal for lunch thats, when I saw my .5lb of turkey and thought what can I do with this and eventually this quesadilla came to my mind. It was delicious and really simple to make!! 

What You'll Need

- about a half pound of lean ground turkey 

- 1/2 cup of green peppers

- 1 stalk of celery 

- 1/8 cup of cheddar cheese

- Hot sauce to your liking

- 1 tortilla ( I used an original one because it was all that was in the house but use whole wheat or any kind you would like)

What to do

- defrost the turkey if frozen 

- Chop the vegetables in to small pieces 

- Then place the vegetables in a frying pan with a very small amount of cooking spray or oil on medium heat and cover for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are starting to soften 

- 

- Once they have begun to soften add in the ground turkey and mix until turkey is well cooked

- for the next step I used a griddle set at 350 degrees but you can use a grill or oven which ever is available to you

- first place the tortilla on the griddle or grill to warm it up alittle then add the turkey and vegetable mix and sprinkle with cheese then add the hot sauce to your own liking

- fold over the tortilla and flip about half way through cooking total cook time is about 10 minutes

- cut in to three pieces and enjoy! 

- you make about two servings out of this I split mine with my mom or you can refrigerate them and enjoy the next day!

Sweet Potato Sliders

One of my favorite new foods is Sweet Potato, I love it its like dessert at dinner that's good for you. With just alittle salt it is fantastic, but today I wanted to try something different with it and after some thought I came up with the idea of making sweet potato sliders using the sweet potato in place of a bun and a slider size turkey burger with cheddar cheese. 

Don't They just look fantastic!! and I promise they taste just as good as they look. It is a great combination of salty and sweet. 

What You'll Need 

- 2 Sweet Potatoes

- About .5lbs of ground turkey 

- Cheddar Cheese block 

- Salt

- Pepper

- Olive Oil 

What To Do

- Peel the Sweet Potato and slice so that they are about 3/4 of an inch thick you should end up with about 10-12 slices

- Cut up slices of Tinfoil for each 

- place a Slice of Sweet potato on a rectangular piece of tinfoil

- Coat each side with olive oil salt and pepper to your own liking

- Fold up the tinfoil so that the potato is wrapped completely

- Place on the warmed up grill 

- Cook on the grill for about 20 minutes flipping half way between 

- While Sweet Potatoes are cooking roll ground turkey in to balls then flatten so that are sliders shaped

- Once the Potatoes have cooked for about 15 minutes put he burgers on the grill I put a piece of tinfoil on the grill and cook the burgers on that it helps keep them from falling apart and thought the grates of the grill

- When the turkey burgers are almost completely cooked slice the block of cheese thin and put one slice on each burger

- Take the burgers and sweet potatoes off

- Unwrap the sweet potatoes as you want to serve them so that they stay warm

- Place the burger between two slices of the sweet potato and enjoy! be careful biting in the sweet potatoes are really hotttt!!! 

My whole dinner this evening was two of these sliders green beans and a cucumber
