What is for dinner tonight?

[kristenk]

We're having leftover Mediterranean Roast Turkey and sweet potato casserole. The sweet potato casserole does not really work all that well with the mediterranean turkey, but DD ill eat it and it's sooo tasty. The roast turkey is a slow cooker recipe and it's delicious.

Here's the cooking light link for the turkey (with a photo and reviews): http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/re...ipe_id=1160644

but here's the recipe for those who don't want to click over:

Mediterranean Roast Turkey - in the slow cooker

Serve this slow cooker roast with mashed potatoes and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 4 ounces turkey and about 1/3 cup onion mixture)

2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
1/2 cup julienne-cut drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning mix (such as McCormick's)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-pound) boneless turkey breast, trimmed
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


Combine first 9 ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup broth and flour in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until smooth. Add broth mixture to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes. Cut turkey into slices.

I modify the sweet potato recipe quite a bit. I don't add any sugar to the sweet potato mixture at all. I bit in half the amount of butter, if that and use whatever milk (most likely skim) we have in the house. We usually don't use nuts in the topping and I cut the whole topping recipe down by about 1/3 - 1/2 b/c it makes a whole lot more topping than we need to cover the dish adequately.

Crock pot spagetti & meatballs. (Well, the pasta doesn't go in the crock pot.)

Boring, but we are out until dinner time so I need to be able to come home and feed everyone asap.

Acorn squash (on sale for .99/lb. and organic) stuffed with stuffing (on sale for $1.49 and organic),vegetarian "Italian Sausage", and fresh sauteed spinach.

I make what is on sale. That is what my parents did, and it works!

What kind of frozen veggies do you put in?

Whatever I have in the freezer. Usually corn and peas. I bought a can of mixed veggies yesterday, so I'm just going to stir those in towards the end so they get heated through.

This sounds delicious, and it's slow cooker! We'll be having this soon, I think.

It looks like we're going out. We forgot to buy a critical ingredient for our last menu item when we were out shopping this weekend (salmon for honey/mustard crusted salmon). Oops. I thought we had enough other items, but I think we're pretty much out of food after winter break.

I bought a rotisserie chicken from Costco. So chicken, rice and a veggie...

And two nights from now we'll likely have chicken enchilladas with the leftovers
