In this time of Covid-19, we’re all able to spend lots of time at home.
Being home all the time, also means that we’re having to cook 3 meals a day, 7 days a week
I don’t know about you, but after the first 2 weeks of being homebound, I got bored with my regular recipes.
So I went out looking for new recipes.
And given that I’ve got a freezer full of turkey cuts, I concentrated on turkey recipes.
Now most of you don’t think about cooking turkey unless its Thanksgiving time, but let me share with you that its a nice replacement to chicken!
Did you know that:
turkey breast meat has just 1 less gram of protein than chicken breast meat per ounce
turkey wing meat has the same amount of protein as chicken wing meat per ounce (although you get much more wing meat in a turkey wing!)
turkey white meat is leaner and has fewer calories than chicken white meat
dark meats in turkey and chicken have more fat than white meat in both
dark meat cuts of chicken have slightly more fat and calories than dark meat cuts of turkey
During the ranch move, after the day of physical labor, we needed a solid meal, preferably easy, simple, and nourishing.
Some recipes met that criteria, others did not.
We’ve put together our 4 favorite recipes for you.

So, change up your menu planning or recipe rotation, and add in these easy and healthy turkey recipes!
You could teach your children/grandchildren what a meatloaf sandwich is!
I hadn’t had one in a long while, and it brought back lots of wonderful memories with my grandparents!
Or you could make some spicy turkey wings and organize a board game evening.
We’ve been playing a lot of gin rummy after dinner. It doesn’t take much brain energy, but its a nice diversion as we wind down after a day on the ranch.
Enjoy the recipes!
