Terrific Turkey Curry

This is one of my favorite easy recipes. Ever wonder what to do with that broccoli slaw at Trader Joes? This.
You can use ground pork or chicken if turkey is not your thang. Also you can kick it up or down on notch on the seasonings but I like some kick. You can serve it over cauliflower rice or cooked spaghetti squash but I love it as is.

I could eat this till I explode.

1 pound of ground organic turkey
4 organic green onions, chopped large
2 bell peppers of different colors (red/green, or yellow/purple) large dice
1 bag of organic broccoli slaw (see trader joes)
2 tablespoons organic garlic olive oil (see trader joes) or coconut oil
1 and 1/2 cans of light organic coconut milk
 (or full fat, up to you but I am not trying to gain weight)

1 1/2 Tablespoons of ground Cumin
2 1/2 Tablespoons of Curry Powder
1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp turmeric
1 teaspoon MrsDash extra spicy seasoning (or cayenne powder or more red chili pepper to taste)

In a wok or large skillet, heat the garlic olive oil/coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Add in the green onions and peppers, sautee just until crisp-tender (about 3 minutes)

Add in the ground turkey and seasonings, breaking up the meat as it cooks, for a few more minutes until the meat is nearly cooked through.

Add in the broccoli slaw (and/or your favorite veggies) and continuing to stir everything together.

Pour the coconut milk over the entire mixture and simmer about 4 more minutes until the broccoli slaw is tender.

BAM so easy, healthy, versatile, and delish!! 
The leftovers are amazing.
You are welcome.

Paleo Salisbury Steak with Garlic Mashed Potatoes; the ultimate comfort food

So yeah the whole potato debate, is it paleo? Some say yes some say no. 
Here is a good sorce http://www.primalpalate.com/blog/are-potatoes-paleo/
So I decided I need more carbs for my work outs and honestly I am going through some food allergy issues hence the non posting on my blog lately. I am working with a Doctor specializing in food allergies so I have had to experiment with my diet. I will touch more on that later.

If you feel strongly about potatoes do mashed sweet potatoes the same way but less cook time aight. 

For the Salisbury Steak:
Some of the ingredients go into the meatloaf type mixture some are for the sauce it simmers in.

1 pound grass fed ground beef
1 egg
3/4 of a whole onion chopped, (1/4 c food processed onion is needed for the beef mixture) 
1/3 cup dried mushroom (I used porcini's)
1 1/2 c broth (I used organic low sodium chicken)
2 packages fresh organic mushroom of choice (i used button and crimini) cleaned and sliced
1 tablespoon garlic puree
1 handful fresh parsley chopped in processor
3-4 sprigs of thyme
1/4 almond meal
1/2 c coconut milk
truffle salt (for the mushroom sauce)
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder for thickening (optional)
4 tablespoons bacon fat or fat of choice

Dried seasonings for meat mixture:
1/2 tsp garlic and onion powder each
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Pepper and salt to taste

Heat broth to a boil pour over dried porcini's and let sit for 20 minutes minimum.

For the patties: mix the meat, egg, 3/4 of the chopped parsley and thyme, garlic puree, 1/2 cup of finely chopped (food processed) mushrooms,  1/4 c processed onion, dried seasonings, and almond meal. Form into oval patties.

Heat bacon fat and brown the patties for 3 minutes per side over medium high to high heat. Remove patties from pan set aside lower heat add onions, saute for about 2-3 minutes on med high heat, add fresh mushrooms, season with truffle salt and pepper and saute a few minutes till browned. Pull porcini's from broth (reserving broth) and chop them. Add to pan with remaining parsley and thyme. (You can also add more pureed garlic to the sauce depending on preference). 
Mix the arrow root with some of the mushroom broth to form a thin rouge and set aside.
Pour in the rest of mushroom broth mixture and coconut milk into mushroom onion pan. Add some pepper, truffle salt, and onion/garlic powder to sauce. Nestle patties and their juices back into pan. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.

 Pour arrow root/broth mixture into pan 15 minutes through cook time  to thicken sauce.

For the potatoes:

While meat is simmering boil chopped red organic potatoes (skin on) with a head of garlic peeled and rough chopped in heavily salted water for 10-15 minutes until fork tender. Drain and mash with some coconut milk and pepper and salt to taste. I also used some of the broth while mashing the potatoes to thin them a bit. (Note: if using sweet potatoes you may want to peel them)

Pour mushroom gravy over patties and into hole you make in mashed potatoes.
Serve with veggies of choice or not. 

Slip into comfort food coma.
