0

Healthy but hardy — turkey and black bean burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional burgers. Made with lean ground turkey and fiber-rich black beans, they are packed with protein and nutrients. Bonus points for anyone watching their waistline: These burgers are lower in fat than those made with beef. Plus, the flavor of turkey showcases the handful of spices you. This way your end product is juicy, savory, and just as delicious as a regular burger would be.

Why Sweet Potato Fries Are Still Healthier Than Regular Fries

When baked instead of fried, sweet potato fries are a salty and nutritious companion. The side dish is a great source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Even more, sweet potatoes are also lower in calories than regular potatoes and contain more fiber.

Together, this burger and fry combo makes for a satisfying and healthy meal that the whole family will love.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries


  • Author: Alekka Sweeney, Adapted from Cookie and Kate

Description

A crispy side dish that gets rid of the guilt of regular french fries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-large or 3 medium)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Optional spices: freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper and/or garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven (make sure the top rack is about 6″ from the heat source and no closer).
  2. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper so the fries don’t get stuck to the pans.
  3. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces about 1/4″ wide and 1/4″ thick. Try to cut them into similarly sized pieces so the fries will bake evenly. Transfer half of the uncooked fries to one baking sheet, and the other half to the other baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle the sweet potato fries with the cornstarch (use 1 1/2 teaspoons per pan) and salt (1/4 teaspoon per pan).
  5. Toss until the fries are lightly coated in powder. Drizzle the olive oil over the fries (1 tablespoon per pan) and toss until the fries are lightly and evenly coated in oil, and no powdery spots remain (use your fingers to rub visible cornstarch into the fries as necessary).
  6. Arrange your fries in a single layer and don’t overcrowd; otherwise, they will never crisp up. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries so they can cook on all sides. (The easiest way to flip them is with a metal spatula. Section by section, scoop up about ten fries and flip them with a quick wrist turn.)

Start your meal with a refreshing salad. Try one of the following recipes:

White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps

0
White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps sit on a green plate with two orange slices, and a few pieces of kiwi.

Small in size, these White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps are not only delicious but are loaded with nutrients perfect for midday pick-me-ups. You may just beat that two o’clock feeling after eating these for lunch!

Pack one for the kiddo’s lunch, too — these White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps don’t get soggy, provide an balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, and are just all around visually appealing. Help your little ones stay energized and focused throughout the school day.

What Makes These Wraps So Healthy?

Our White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps recipe calls for tuna in olive oil, rather than water, which, while a bit more on the calorie side, is much higher in vitamin D and selenium — helping your body fight infections. Plus, is excellent for your bones!

Meanwhile, the central star, white beans, provides a plethora of marvelous nutrients and vitamins, like protein, fiber, folate, iron, and magnesium. You have the option to use either cannellini or Great Northern white beans. The difference is that cannellini beans are a bit larger and creamier, while Great Northern beans are firmer and smaller in size. But you can’t go wrong with either!

White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps


  • Author: Alekka Sweeney
  • Yield: Makes 4

Description

A simple lunch that comes together easily and provides a filling meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped red onions or shallots
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes (can sub a tbsp or two of cider vinegar)
  • 2 (5- to 6-oz) cans of tuna packed in olive oil
  • 2 (15-oz) cans of cannellini or Great Northern white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup (loosely packed) chopped parsley or arugula, or 2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt and more extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • 1 package of whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup spring salad mix


Instructions

  1. Sprinkle some of the lemon juice over the chopped onions while you prepare the other ingredients. This will take some of the oniony edge off the onions.
  2. Combine ingredients in a bowl. Drain the oil from the tuna and put the tuna into a large bowl. Add the beans to the tuna and gently stir to combine.
  3. Add the onions, herbs, black pepper, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix to combine. Add Tabasco or chili to taste.
  4. If the salad needs more acid, add a little more lemon juice. If the salad seems a little dry, add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to taste.
  5. Chill before serving.
  6. Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Lay salad mix over tortilla. Spread ½ cup of tuna salad over greens. Fold top and bottom half of tortilla into the middle, turn the tortilla to the open edges and fold over like a burrito.

This salad will last several days in the fridge, tightly covered.

Second Act: Turkey Leftovers

0
Gluten-Free Turkey Enchiladas Verde sits on a clear casserole dish. leftover recipes

We are inspired by TABLE Magazine contributor Rhonda Schuldt and the leftover transformations of her classic Roasted Chicken recipe. These four leftover recipes will please the palate without the turkey overload. Turkey doesn’t have to run the show, however. You can swap in any leftover meat you have on hand.

Gluten-Free Turkey Enchiladas Verde

This recipe can be made with leftover roasted turkey and homemade Salsa Verde (recipe below), but this super easy version uses either canned green enchilada sauce or jarred Salsa Verde. Ingredients are layered between tortillas, so there are no pesky rolling individual enchiladas!

INGREDIENTS

1 large can green enchilada sauce*
12 6-inch corn tortillas**
4-6 cups shredded turkey***
½ yellow or red onion, chopped
1 can black beans, drained
1 cup roasted corn (canned or frozen corn works equally well)
Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (3-4 cups)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 375°. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the dish. Lay six corn tortillas on the bottom, overlapping the tortillas to cover the bottom of the pan. Top with the shredded turkey, onion, beans, and corn. Add 1-2 cups of the cheese depending on how cheesy you want the enchiladas. Pour 1/3 of the enchilada sauce over the filling ingredients. Top with the remaining six tortillas, overlapping, to cover the filling. Top with remaining enchilada sauce; spread the sauce evenly over the tops of the tortillas. Top with additional cheese…adding as much cheese as you wish.
  3. Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
  4. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve with sour cream, scallions, your favorite hot sauce, and/or cilantro if desired.

*If you can’t find gluten-free green enchilada sauce, I’ve used green salsa, which is usually gluten-free.

**Flour tortillas make a delicious non-gluten-free version, as well.

The recipe works equally well with red enchilada sauce if that’s preferred!

Roasted Tomatillo and Sweet Onion Salsa Verde

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed*
2 medium sweet onions
2 poblano peppers (substitute jalapeno or Serrano peppers for more heat)
4 cloves garlic, peeled
Juice of 1 lime
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Leaving root end intact, peel onions and halve from root to tip.
  3. Place whole tomatillos, onions, and peppers on oiled grill grate. Cook, turning occasionally until all are slightly charred. Remove from grill. Seed and stem the peppers.
  4. Place charred vegetables in a blender or food processor along with garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Pulse until blended. Stir in cilantro.
  5. Serve simply with chips, as a condiment, or as a delicious base for chicken enchiladas. Stir into two chopped avocados for a guacamole to remember!

Turkey and Vegetable Soup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a stockpot. Add 1 diced carrot, 1 diced celery rib, ½ cup diced onion, 1 clove chopped garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 1 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes (fire-roasted, if you can find them), 1-quart turkey stock*, and 2 cups shredded leftover turkey. Season with salt, pepper to taste. Let simmer until heated through.

*It’s easy to make your own turkey stock from the leftover carcass of your turkey.

Buffalo Turkey Sliders

Sauce: In a saucepan, add equal parts butter and your favorite hot wing sauce, such as Frank’s®, adding a little more hot sauce if desired to up the heat. Season with garlic powder and black pepper to taste. Make plenty of this sauce… it keeps in the well in the fridge!

Per Slider: Toss 2 tablespoons of sauce with ½ cup of warmed leftover shredded roast turkey. Place on a slider bun and garnish with blue cheese dressing and top with finely diced celery if desired.

Turkey Salad Sandwiches

The options here are endless! Serve on tomato slices, salad greens, toasted bread, crackers, or enjoy each of these ideas on its own.

Classic version: Stir together shredded turkey, diced celery, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt), a little mustard of your choice. Season with salt and pepper.

Curried version: Mix together Greek yogurt, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded turkey, finely diced cucumber, chopped green apple.

Lemon Simple Syrup Recipe

INGREDIENTS

2 lemons (medium/large in size)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

Can I Freeze These Blueberry Pancakes?

Absolutely! To Freeze, first let the pancakes cool completely. Then, layer your pancakes between sheets of parchment paper and place them in a freezer bag. These pancakes will keep for up to two months in the freezer.

What to Expect at Pittsburgh’s Deutschtown Deli

0
Two sandwiches
Photo by Mae Mu

When the North Shore Deli permanently closed its doors, a huge vacancy was left on Pittsburgh’s Ohio Street.

“There’s nowhere to really get sandwiches around here,” Cory Hughes, owner of local restaurants Fig & Ash and Fat Cat, tells TABLE Magazine. “We have Fat Cat, which is kind of like dine-in, but people were more looking for grab-and-go, and when we saw the space, we thought it’d be perfect for a deli.”

The space Hughes is referring to is the location of the former Coop Chicken & Waffles and soon-to-be Deutschtown Deli, Hughes’s latest venture in the Pittsburgh food scene. He says to expect a “straight-up old-school deli” when doors open in the next few weeks.

“We’re not going to reinvent the wheel here; it’s going to be a lot of hot pastrami on rye, kielbasa, club sandwiches, Italian hoagies, stuff like that.”

One key difference, however, is that Deutschtown Deli Chef Chris Kweder already has a pickling program in the works and plans to make pastrami from corned beef.

“We’re going to make us much in-house as we can,” Hughes says.

Kweder will also be debuting a sandwich called the Chip Chop Italian, which was successfully tested out at this year’s Deutschtown Music Fest.

“It’s basically a diced Italian sandwich, and it’s like every bite the same,” Hughes says. “That’s going to be a huge crowd-pleaser here.”
