A Waldorf salad has apples and nuts and celery and is mixed with mayo. Here I recreate it but in sandwich form and serve it atop lean turkey slices. So good !!

Pan Fried Turkey Cutlets Smothered in Onions

4 oz. of turkey breast without any skin is only 153 calories – so if you’re looking for some larger portions or a pairing with a rich side dish, this is the way to go.

1 lb. turkey cutlets
1 medium onion, in thin slices
Salt and pepper to taste
Onion powder to taste
Pam

Spray skillet with Pam and cook onions 5-7 minutes. Move onions to the side and place turkey cutlets in pan. Season and cook 3-4 minutes. Flip and re-season and place onion slices on top. Cook another 3-4 minutes or until cooked throughout. Total time will depend on the thickness of the cutlets. I often use the scallopine cutlets that are nice and thin and cook quickly.

Hot Turkey and Gravy Sandwiches

A hot open faced sandwich brings me back – they seem to be a more old fashioned food – but I want to bring them back ! 🙂 My Mom used to serve hot open faced roast beef sandwiches a lot, sometimes even as a quick dinner. This one brings the calories down a bit using turkey and fat free turkey gravy.

Turkey Sandwich with Guac

Guacamole is the perfect sandwich spread – anywhere you would add some avocado slices, think about using some guac instead. There is a prepared one that is just fantastic – Wholly Guacamole. It is super fresh tasting and available in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. The guac adds great flavor, moistness, and a healthful amount of MUFAs for your diet 🙂

Turkey, Bacon and Avocado Wrap

Wraps make great lunches and you can stuff them with just about anything. This one has some of my favorite things…including BACON ! And spreading the Laughing Cow cheese on the whole wrap ensures that you get cheesy goodness in every bite !

1 serving

1 Wrap (80 calorie La Tortilla Factory version)
1 wedge Laughing Cow Light Cheese (original Swiss flavor)
2 slices turkey bacon
3 slices deli turkey
Alfalfa sprouts or some shredded lettuce
1/2 c chopped or sliced tomatoes
3 slices avocado

Cook the bacon according to package instructions. Lay wrap on flat surface. Spread the cheese wedge on it. When placing ingredients down the center of the wrap, do not go quite to the bottom – leave a little room (1 inch) so you will be able to wrap is securely. Place the turkey slices down the center. Lay the bacon slices down the center. Spread sprouts and tomato down the center. And finally lay the 3 avocado slices down the center. Wrap securely.

Some people shy away from them for the simple reason that they do not know how to wrap them so that the stuff stays in place. Take a quick look at my video showing you how to get a nice tight wrap that will not leak.

Porcupine Meatballs (Crock Pot)

Decadent tasting due to the creamy mushroom sauce, but low cal, low fat and a perfect weeknight dinner. This one gets filed with my ‘all time favs’ !

Turkey and Cheese Rolls

Think of this as a turkey sandwich without the bread. It is so light, yet super tasty and a great healthy lunch. It packs easily and it’s as easy as putting together a sandwich. You have heard about meatless days – try some carb free days for a boost to your diet.

Sub Sandwich

A little of this, a little of that – all on a roll … and you get a sub sandwich. This is a great mixed meat sub that is filling and a great take a long lunch.
