Turkey TIme

I normally don't eat meat, but with such a limited diet I decided to try cooking turkey for the first time.  We purchased a 1lb hormone-free turkey breast at our local natural grocery and placed it in a small baking dish with canola oil, pear juice, salt and pepper.  We covered the dish with foil and baked at 350F for about 30 minutes.  Baking time will vary, so always cut into the center to check that it's completely cooked.

Our turkey was served with mashed potatoes and summer squash medallions that were sauteed in canola oil and dusted with salt and pepper - delicious!  We saved the juices, along with the meaty bone for a soup the next day.  Perhaps the biggest tip I can offer to get through this diet is to make meals in big enough batches so that you have plenty of leftovers for whenever you're hungry.

Turkey & Rice Soup
Simmer leftover turkey and juice in 4-6 cups of water with salt and canola oil.  Add one cup of brown rice.  At 20 minutes add chopped white sweet potato.  At 30 minutes add chopped zucchini and a spoonful of mashed potatoes.  Salt & pepper to taste.

The variation shown in the picture was made with frozen peas, rather than chopped zucchini.
