The Best Turkey Meatballs Yes, that’s a bold statement, but these are the best turkey meatballs! My secret?  Adding just a bit of pork sausage with the ground turkey – makes all the difference!

These Italian Turkey Meatballs are perfect for meal prep for the week! Truth be told I used to give ground turkey the stink eye.  We never ate ground turkey growing up so it was out of my wheelhouse and one of those foods I just told myself I didn’t like.  But I love these turkey meatballs!  Side note – one of my favorite pots is...

Simple Brined Turkey Breast My simple brined turkey breast is so easy and there are just a couple tricks to make it perfect. Unless you have lots of $$ to spend to buy a fresh turkey, you’ll buy it frozen. Please, pretty pretty please don’t try to defrost on your counter.  It takes a little planning.  Mine that I got at Mariano’s was 8.5 pounds...

I got home late Saturday night from L.A., then went to my friends house on Sunday for the Pumpkin Fest Parade.  By the time I got home, the thought of going to the store and going grocery shopping was the furthest thing on my mind.  Luckily with a stocked pantry and freezer, I can almost always come up with some sort of soup to meal...

Growing up, my Dad used to make this dish.  However, one particular night, when my mom was traveling on business, he decided to make it for dinner.  One walk into the kitchen and I could not figure out what the smell was!  Me: “Hey Dad, what are you making?” Dad: “Turkey tetrazzini!” Me: “Um, what recipe did you use?” Dad: “the usual one that your...

I finally cooked the turkey breast tonight.  I bought it over the weekend, and it kept on getting bumped to another day.  Just a simple dry rub on the grill.  It was bone in, so it took a bit longer AND I slightly overcooked it, but it was still tasty! I never knew turkey breasts had the pop-up thingy like whole turkeys! Dinner: approximately 4...
