[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] REVISED: Cajun Deluxe Turkey Burger

 

OOOPs sorry I had the wrong amount typed in for the Mayo.

Cajun Deluxe Turkey Burger

12 oz extra lean ground turkey
8 slices Jennie O turkey bacon, lower sodium
1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
1 tsp salt free Cajun seasoning, or to taste (store bought or homemade)
1 tsp garlic powder
4 slices red onion
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato
4 slices cheese (I used Kraft slim cut sharp cheddar not processed cheese)
4 Flatout Foldit 5 grain and flax flatbreads (or a low carb bagel thin)
2 Tbsp Mayo (optional)
2 tsp mustard (optional)

Grind or finely chop turkey bacon.

Combine the ground turkey, chopped bacon, pepper, garlic powder and
Cajun seasoning together well then form 4 patties. Ideally, make this
mixture at least 8 hours before cooking so that the turkey can marinate
with the other ingredients.

Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill turkey burgers approximately 14 to
16 minutes. Always cook to well done, 165 degrees F as measured by a
meat thermometer. Melt a slice of cheese on each burger.

Spread 1 tsp mayo and 1/2 tsp mustard on flatout foldit then layer the
lettuce, tomato, onion and burger.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Stir Fried Chicken and Basil - 3.8g Carbs, 1.2g Fiber, 1.3g Sugar

 

Stir Fried Chicken and Basil - 3.8g Carbs, 1.2g Fiber, 1.3g Sugar

From: Cook's Country - June/July 2010
To ensure our Stir-Fried Chicken and Basil cooked quickly, we sliced the peppers and chicken into thin strips. We found that a tiny bit of oyster sauce added a salty, vibrant flavor to this dish. A rasp-style grater, such as a Microplane, made grating ginger quick and easy. To make this dish more filling, we paired it with rice. Fresh herbs like mint and basil bring a bright flavor to this dish.
Serves: 4

1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp Asian chili-garlic sauce
8 thin-cut, boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 lb), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced thin
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger

1. Combine oyster sauce, water, vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce in small bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook half of chicken until no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Repeat with additional 1 tablespoon oil and remaining chicken.

2. Add remaining oil and bell pepper to empty skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil, mint, and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add oyster sauce mixture and chicken, along with any accumulated juices, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Serve.
