I need chicken, turkey and tuna recipes About This Page:

[GoofyMom]

DD has decided that she no longer will eat beef and pork. That's going to be hard for me to adjust to because I love beef! I've told her I'm not making two dinners every night that we have beef or pork on the menu but I will cut back on the hooved critters and buy more poultry. I have a couple "stand by" recipes that I use for chicken but I think that I'd like to get some tried and true favourites from other people so we can have more variety.

I'm especially looking for cheap and easy recipes using turkey breasts, ground turkey, chicken breasts and tinned tuna. TIA!

[Carousel96]

Go to your library and check out a copy of the dinner doctor -- she has tons of recipes for using up leftover rotisserie chicken. I usually simmer a bunch of chicken breasts and cut them up instead.

For dinner tonight I'm making Honey Garlic Chicken in the crock pot. I've never made this recipe before, but it sounds yummy. It's from the Prevention Guide Slow Cooker Recipe booklet I picked up from the grocery store.

Here's the recipe:

10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I'm using breasts)
1 can (20 oz) pineapple tidbits
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup light soy sauce (I used a bit less because this sounded and looked like a lot)
3 tbsp ketchup
2 garlic cloves minced
1 Tbsp minced, fresh ginger root (I used powder)

1. Place chicken in slow cooker

2. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. In medium bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, ginger and reserved juice. Pour into slow cooker over chicken.

3. Cook on high for 4 hours (Mine is on low). Stir in pineapple just before serving.

I'm going serve this over rice with a salad. I'll let you know how it is tonight.

Ground turkey is the easiest one for me because anything that I ever made with ground beef is great (I like it better) with ground turkey. Just replace the beef and it will still be yummy!

This is one of my mother in law's recipes that has become a "regular" in my house.

2 Cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 8 ounce container of sour cream
1 rotisserie chicken or about 1lb of cooked chicken breast cubed into bite sized pieces
1 can french cut green beans
1 box prepared stove top stuffing

I usually just roast chicken breast in the oven and then cube it into a 13 x 9 casserole (or something close to that size)
just throw in the soups and sour cream and green beans (drained) and mix it all up. Then spread the prepared stuffing on top and bake at 350 until bubbly, usually about 30 minutes.

It's a great homey casserole and makes great leftovers.
Also, feel free to use the fat free soups...it's just as good

Here is a recipe for turkey burgers that is one of my favorite:

1 1/2 lb ground turkey breast
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup soft bread crumbs (about 1 1/2 slices of bread)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup chicken broth

Mix turkey, onion, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and broth. Shape mixture into 6 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.

Set oven control to broil. Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Place patties on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 4 inches from heat about 12 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center.

CATHERINE’S SPICY CHICKEN SOUP

INGREDIENTS
2 quarts water
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon onion powder
5 cubes chicken bouillon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (16 ounce) jar chunky salsa
2 (14.5 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 (16 ounce) cans chili beans, undrained
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over medium heat, combine water, chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, onion powder and bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 1 hour, or until chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken, reserve broth. Shred chicken.
In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion and garlic in olive oil until slightly browned. Stir in salsa, diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, tomato soup, chili powder, corn, chili beans, sour cream, shredded chicken and 5 cups broth. Simmer 30 minutes.

To serve, top with crushed tortilla chips and grated cheese.
It makes a ton of soup. My son who is a firefighter made this at the firehouse and everyone went crazy for it. It was rated five stars out of five by 357 people. I prefer it with two cans of corn and just one of beans, and I use black beans. I also let everyone add their own sour cream at the table so they can tone down the spiciness if they so desire.

We do this too. My kids think of hamburgers as things you order at a restaurant. They didn't realize it was a type of meat.

[wheatenwalker]

Donna, Lots of recipes using ground beef are ok with either ground turkey or soy crumbles- chili, tacos, things like that. I make chil with soy crimbles and I think it tastes just like it would if I used burger.

[GoofyMom]

Mmmm, those look really yummy! Thanks. I'm thinking of trying ground turkey to make "Hamburger" Soup tomorrow. Is it just a straight substitution, 1 lb ground turkey for 1 lb ground beef?

Last night I made Chicken Parm. I've been wanting to make it for a while, but it was something I thought was too "fidgety" to make. It was a big hit, and not as much trouble to make as I thought it would be. So, I'll return the favour and post it in case anybody else is looking for a good chicken recipe.

Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients

1 Large Egg
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 lg. whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp olive oil
1 (10oz) Jar Pasta Sauce
2/3 cup shredded mozarella or italian blend cheese
1 (16 oz) box linguine

Nutritional Info

Mix egg and milk in a bowl and set aside.

Trim fat from chicken breasts. Pound with a meat tenderizer until breasts are 1/4"-1/2" thin. Cut the breasts into 8 equal pieces (usually about 4" in diamter).

Dip each chicken cutlet into milk & egg mixture and then dip into bread crumbs.

Brown the breaded chicken pieces in a skillet with olive oil.

Place a small amount of pasta sauce on bottom of baking dish and then place chicken pieces on top of the sauce. Spoon small amounts of sauce on top of chicken pieces. Place in oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Sprinkle cheese on top of chicken pieces and return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve over Linguine.

Note -- I was lazy and didn't pound the chicken skinny, I used large chicken breasts and cut them in half so they were smaller. It worked fine.

[fan of pan]

Crock Pot Mexi Chicken

4-6 Chicken Breasts
1 Cup Salsa
1 package Taco Seasoning
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup

Cook for about 6-7 hours. 30 minutes before serving, stir in 1 cup of sour cream. This will make the sauce creamier. Very easy, smells great. My mom made this and I dont' usually like sauces with meat, but I really enjoyed this.

And for those on Weight Watchers as my mom is, It is 4 points.

I agree--Here's my turkey chili recipie--roughly

2 cloves garlic
1/2 bell pepper diced
1/2 poblano pepper diced
1/2 large yellow onion (or one small one) diced

sautee the above ingredients until the onion is translucent in EVOO

1lb to 1 1/2lbs ground turkey--the one they sell at my grocers is about 1 1/4lbs

brown the turkey, drain off any excess fat

Dump veggies and turkey into a dutch oven sized pot 5qts or better and add
2-3 cans of crushed tomato--depending on size of pot--mine takes 2 1/2
1 sm call tomato paste
1-2 cans of kidney beans (light or dark or both)--use 1 can for 2 cans of tomato 2 cans for 3 cans of tomato

Add the following seasonings:
1-3t chili powder to taste
1-2t cayene powder taste
3 dried chilis
salt and black pepper to taste
1t dried ground mustard

Remember that the spiciness will increase the longer that the chili sits in the pot!
