I didn’t know turkey was so rich in goodness. I like the look of the garlic lemon turkey shanks. Thanks for the idea!
You´re welcome :)
Happy cooking!!
I’ll let you know how it goes! ✌🏼
Great! 👌
Like a previous commenter, I didn’t realize turkey was so protein-rich. I’m definitely going to try the curried turkey with rice: I love curry!
When bodybuilders are tired of eating chicken, they eat turkey. Or vice versa :D
Enjoy!
Then I’ll have to find some turkey!
💪💪💪💪
Thanks for the turkey info and for the recipes!
You are welcome 😉
Ah shoot! Still need to prepare the chicken-recipe…forgot to buy the lemons. Next week it is :-)
You know, fat and cholesterol aren’t that bad at all? Sugar and wheat are the silent ‘killers’ when it comes down to food ;-)
There are good and bad fats and cholesterol. I think sugar is a problem because any item in the supermarket seems to contain sugar. I like my sugar with coffee, a teaspoon of sweetness can´t be that bad ;) I panic when I read the labels and I see that cheese has sugar, bread has sugar, sausages have sugar, and so on. And I have to confess that I love wheat, bread, cakes… I have no problem with wheat, but there are a lot of celiac people out there.
Wheat are triggers for so many health-issues, like auto-immune disorders, inflammation, arthritis and many more. Good and bad fats, cholesterol; that has been proven to be a ‘hoax’. It’s all about balance and eating pure and natural food.
Try coconut-blossom-sugar for your coffee ;-) Don’t be scared of natural sugars in for instance vegetables and fruits.
I don’t follow Paleo to the letter, just try to eat as natural/pure as possible, but this a very informative side, worthwhile to look into ;-) And google Mark Sisson and his blue print, so interesting!
Europe was built upon wheat thousands of years ago. I don´t know what they do to wheat now, but wheat itself can´t be bad. Thousands of years eating wheat are proving it.
I googled food and bad fats hoax and I didn´t find anything close to what you say. I would love to read about it.
Thanks for your interest but I´m very happy with my eating habits and the results. Anyway, I´ll take a look to this guy ;)
Try ‘what’s with wheat’ and ‘eat the yolks’ ;-)
But as long as you’re healthy, that’s most important! Everyone is unique and there isn’t a lifestyle which is good for everyone in general. I always say, what is good for you, doesn’t have to be good for me and vice versa ;-)
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Big hug, XxX
Thanks! I will search them :)
Totally agree, being healthy is the most important, and everyone is unique.
Enjoy your weekend! Big hugs :)
I’m ready to go with the garlic lemon turkey recipe, but I’m only cooking for one. Would you recommend I reduce the baking time, and if so, by how much?
No, the baking time is the same, no matter for how many :) What I do I recommend you is adjusting the rest of the ingredients, or that turkey is going to be too spicy ;)
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks! I’m cooking today and will update you.
Wow! Seems I answered just in time 😅
Mission accomplished! Really delicious. Thank you for opening my mind to the power of turkey. 🙂
Great! I’m so glad you like it 😊
I tried the curried ground turkey with potatoes recipe, and it’s another banger! You are now my go-to website for food inspiration. Top work. :)
Fantastic! I´m so happy you´re enjoying the recipes. Tomorrow, delicious hallibut recipes!
Big hugs ;)
Oh boy, I’ll look forward to that!
:D
Thanks for the recipes, I can’t wait to try them!
You´re welcome! All of them are easy, have fun ;)
I didn’t know that garlic and lemon would work so well with turkey! Thanks for sharing! Will definitely try it this year 😊
Yes they do :) with chicken work great as well!
Happy cooking :D
Excellent! Thank you!
I’m glad you like it 😊
I didn’t know how the parts of a turkey differed. Really informative post.
Thank you.
It also happens to the rest of the meat. Choose the lean parts ;)
Got it!
I’ll have to try some of these. Please check out my first recipe post at mcgeetraveltales.com, I love to know what you think!
Thank you! I hope you´ve found new ways to cook turkey :)
I´ll take a look in a minute! Nice to meet you ;)
