Healthy Cooking – Chicken & Vegetable Pie

September 22009

If you cook this into a pie with pastry, pre-heat your oven to 200C or 400F (or whatever the pastry manufacturer recommends, if it’s store bought) and cook till the pastry browns which would be around 20-30mins.

If you don’t want to use pastry you can serve it on rice, couscous or place the filling into a pie dish and top with mashed potatoes and a sprinkling of cheese. Enjoy!

Weigh In: Week 10

August 32009

*Turkey Mini-Meatloaves*
1 slice of whole wheat bread
1/2 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion (I didn’t use onion, I don’t like it.)
bag of spinach leaves
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I didn’t have any.)

-Preheat oven to 375.
-Grind the bread in food processor (I used a blender) until find crumbs form. Transfer to a large bowl and pour milk over crumbs.
-Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, and stir until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to bowl with soaked crumbs. Add the turkey, cheese, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Combine mixture with your hands until well mixed; it will be quite wet.
-Pack 1 cup of the mixture in a 1-cup dry measuring cup. Invert the cup onto a rimmed baking sheet, gently shaking the cup to release the mixture. Repeat with remaining mixture. Bake mini-meatloaves until cooked through and golden, about 40 minutes.

*To make the glaze: in a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons ketchup, 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce. Brush over meatloaves.
