Warm Spinach Salad

January 19, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

This salad makes a great meal for lunch or dinner. I like to serve it with Ken’s Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing. Choose any fat-free or low-fat, low calorie dressing that you like. Keep it light though, this salad is tasty all on its own.

One 10 oz pkg. salad spinach
4 green onions, sliced
4 slices turkey bacon (crispy)
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
Handful of unsalted walnuts

Directions
1. Combine spinach, onions, turkey bacon and eggs in salad bowl.
2. Heat dressing and serve warm.
3. Can always add 4 or 6 oz chicken breast for more protein and to make a more complete meal.

Health Benefits
Low in fat, sodium, calories and cholesterol. Spinach is an excellent source of iron, necessary for a healthy women’s fitness plan. The turkey bacon is a great choice because it’s low in fat but high in protein, served with the boiled eggs and walnuts, you have a complete serving of protein and vegetables that are sure to give you the strength you need for a busy lifestyle.

The Palm Beach Club

January 14, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

For a fast lunch when the girls are over, I like to serve them this heart-healthy sandwich with a tropical flair. Stack it up, decorate with a frilly pick and serve them on some colorful plates. The girls feel like they’re dining at the resort. No need to add mayo to these clubs, the avocado will take care of that.

Per Sandwich:
1. 2 slices of Ezekiel bread, low sodium, toasted
2. (any whole grain bread is fine)
3. 2 oz. low sodium turkey
4. (I like to use real turkey breast that I cook at home. As a matter of fact, I cook a turkey breast every week, so I have it ready when I need it.)
5. 1 oz. low-fat Monterey Jack cheese
6. 3 slices fresh avocado
7. 2 Tbsp. low sodium salsa
8. 1 fresh chopped mango–divide between the sandwiches or cut extra as needed.
9. Add lettuce instead of chips for some extra crunch!

Health Benefits:
Low fat, low sodium, everything on these sandwiches is healthy. The turkey, avocado, and Monterey Jack cheese are all great sources of protein but contain very little saturated fat. Served on whole grain bread to boost the fiber level already provided by the fruit. All in all, it’s the perfect lunch.

Yummy Turkey Burgers

January 12, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

Turkey burgers are some of my boy’s favorites. I like to serve them with side salad that’s loaded with our favorite veggies. Offer balsamic vinegar or homemade hummus for dipping.

1 lb extra-lean turkey
1 packet of best choice low-sodium onion soup or dip mix
Couple drops of water for a smooth texture
Pinch of garlic powder
Pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Use grill or nonstick pan
2. Add little olive oil to coat meat
3. Pat out turkey into burgers
4. Cook on medium heat, 3 minutes each side until done.

Health Benefits:
Extra lean turkey means it is extra low in fat. A high source of protein, that’s low in sodium. Stick with the low-salt dip mix, it will have a great taste without adding too much sodium to your diet.

Turkey Cutlets

January 7, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

These thin cutlets are easy to fix and so tender. Serve these up with a salad of chopped tomato and fresh herbs, garlic, basil and a pinch of salt and pepper tossed lightly with balsamic vinegar. Or serve it up with a side of broccoli or whole wheat pasta.

1 1/2 lb. turkey breast thin cutlets
Italian bread crumbs
Olive oil
Pinch salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray pan with Pam.
3. Pat breasts lightly with olive oil until coated.
4. Coat breasts with Italian bread crumbs.
5. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes

Health Benefits
An excellent source of protein but low in fat and low in sodium. That’s why turkey is such a great choice for the main dish.

Karens Favorite Salad

January 5, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

Super food when you have super goals. This is a healthy salad, that is tasty any time of the day. I like the warm spinach leaves combined with the cool taste of the strawberries, the tomatoes, feta and walnuts give this salad a fabulous flavor.

8 to 12 fresh spinach leaves
4 to 8 medium strawberries
1 to 2 oz reduced Feta cheese
2 large tomatoes
2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp. Ken’s Light Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing

Directions:
1. Toss together in bowl.
2. Top with dressing or leave it on side and dip the veggies and fruit right in.

Health Benefits:
Spinach is high in iron, and an excellent source of vitamins A, C and K. Strawberries and tomatoes are high in vitamin C and all three foods are high in fiber. Low fat, the walnuts and Feta provide the protein you need for a nutritious meal.
