Ground turkey is my preference when it comes to meatballs for a couple reasons. The first reason being that they are more moist, in my opinion. The other reason is just simply that I feel they are healthier than ground beef. Tonight for dinner I made ground turkey and pancetta meatballs to serve over spaghetti…

Sun-dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs
If you would like a really moist and flavorful meatball as part of your dinner, or lunch, this may just be the one! I mixed ground turkey with a 8-1/2 ounce jar of sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, along with crushed garlic (out of the jar), dijon mustard, grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, kosher salt and…
Turkey and Pinto Bean Taco Boats
I found the cutest little taco boats at my local grocery store last week, I couldn’t pass them up. Last night I made ground turkey tacos and thought these would be the perfect vessel to serve them in. The taco boats actually made for a much less messy taco. These are by Old El Paso and have only…

I’m actually more a fan of ground turkey than I am of ground beef. It just feels healthier to me. Plus, I like the taste. You can…
Sunday Summer Turkey Meatloaf
Today, while sitting in beach traffic, I used my time to think about how I wanted to make a lighter version of meatloaf, a summer meatloaf, if you will. I knew I wanted to use ground turkey instead of ground beef for this one and I also knew that I wanted to add a jar of…
Mexican Fusilli
Wednesday night, I decided to make something I haven’t made in many years. Mexican spaghetti was a dish I made when Dennis and I were first married. This was out of necessity one night when I was making pasta and realized I didn’t have any spaghetti sauce. Hmmm, I thought? What should I do now?…
