Four Foods on Friday #46
Hmmm - this week's FFOF is all about foods I don't usually make!
#1. Egg salad or deviled eggs. How do you prepare?
I do make egg salad, but very plain. Just the eggs, Miracle Whip (shut up) and sea salt. My favorite week-after-Easter lunch!
#2. French fries. Do you make homemade or frozen?
I haven't served French fries since the kids grew out of their chicken nuggets and fries for almost every meal phase. But they were always frozen, usually Ore-Ida (I still love Ore-Ida tater tots).
#3. Gravy. What do you use - homemade, jar, can or from a package?
There are some things better left to professionals - gravy is one of them. I always use the stuff from a jar. I make almost the entire Christmas dinner from scratch; I cut myself a break on the gravy.
#4. Share a recipe for a hot (temperature, not spice) dish.
This is one of my new favorite quick and easy recipes. You have to have a Trader Joe's nearby, though! They were sampling this one day last winter when I was shopping. I wasn't sure about the ground turkey at first, but it's actually quite tasty.
Trader Joe's Turkey Chili
Ingredients:
1 package (about a pound) of ground turkey
2 cans Trader Joe's Marinated Bean Salad
2 jars Trade Joe's Three-Pepper Salsa
Various spices
Directions:
Brown the ground turkey; rinse and drain. Add the bean salad (undrained) and the salsa. Then add whatever spices you like. I use chili powder, cumin, salt and then I add some sliced green onion. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes. Serve with cornbread.
