Chili Fries
4 medium baking potatoes, cut lengthwise into eights
1 Tbsp olive oil
Chili powder
Pinch salt and pepper
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Lightly coat potatoes with olive oil
3. Sprinkle with chili powder, salt and pepper
4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes
Turkey Burgers
I buy the Jennie O brand of turkey patties. They are so easy. Just sprinkle with garlic on each side and grill the burgers over medium heat. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
No buns, just eat with lettuce, tomato and onion.
Health Benefits
The turkey burgers are an excellent source of protein, with little saturated fat. Low sodium, low cholesterol, no sugar. French fries don’t have to be bad, especially when they are baked in the oven. Potatoes are high in potassium and vitamin C. A good source of plant protein, without any fat.
