Hey all!
Here some of the ways I have been making eating the same things over and over a little more exciting:

Breakfast options:
With 4 oz turkey breast
1 egg, 3 whites (or two whites and 1 oz mozzarella cheese)
1/2 cup omelet vegetables or 1/2 grapefruit:
#1 Turkey/mushroom/onion omelet
Spray a small pan with Olive oil spray, sautee 1/4 c diced red onion until it softens and then add 4 oz diced, cooked, turkey and 1/2 c sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with Prudhomme's vegetable magic, stir and then add a dash of fat free, low sodium chicken broth. Stir until heated through.
Mean while beat egg and 2 egg whites in a bowl, add a tsp or two water, beat well. Spray a large nonstick pan w/Pam and heat. Pour eggs into pan, spreading evenly to coat, cook 2-3 minutes, layer 1 oz mozzarella slices on egg, add turkey mixture, fold over and viola - a huge, tasty omelet!

#2 Scrambled eggs with turkey, onion and salsa..
You got it,
Beat one egg and three egg whites with 1 tsp water.
Chop 4 oz turkey and 1/4 c onion.
Spray a pan with olive oil, heat. Add onion, cook til softened, adding a dash of fat-free, reduced sodium broth if needed, add turkey, heat a minute, add 2 TBSP salsa, stir and add eggs. Scramble until fully cooked. Enjoy!

#3 another turkey omelet variation

1 egg, 3 egg whites
1 large clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 c onion, finely chopped
1/4 c (or more to taste) cilantro, chopped
4 oz cooked turkey breast, chopped

cook onion, add garlic and cilantro and turkey, heat through. Make omelette layer with eggs, add filling, fold over, heat thru. Enjoy!

#4 Spicy scrambled eggs with broccoli

1/2 c broccoli, microwaved w/1 TBSP water for 2-3 minutes and drained
4 oz turkey breast, pre-cooked
1 egg, three whites, beaten with 1 tsp water
fatfree, low sodium chicken broth
1 garlic clove, pressed or minced
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes

Place broccoli in a medium nonstick pan, add a little chicken broth (to keep it from drying out and burning, add garlic and cayenne, simmer until spices are fragrant and broth has evaporated (2-3 minutes).Add turkey and eggs, scramble til cooked through. Enjoy!

Okay - some other meals....

Cabbage curry

2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1 large garlic clove, pressed
1 tsp curry powder
dash cayenne
4 oz grilled chicken breast, diced.
fatfree reduced sodium chicken broth
tsp olive oil

Place tsp olive oil in med pan over med heat. Add cabbage, curry powder and cayenne, stir and sautee, adding broth as needed to keep moist. When cabbage starts to wilt, add chicken, stir until heated thru. Enjoy!

Asian accent cabbage

Same as above, but use Emeril Lagasse's Asian spice blend instead of curry and cayenne - very tasty!!

Okay, enough for now, right? how many ways can you cook turkey and eggs and vegetables?
i hope you find these useful and not too obvious..

Hey - here is another good one -

Curried cauliflower with beef 9or chicken)

One cup cauliflower
Fatfree reduced sodium chicken broth, to cover for soup or just enough for steaming (2-3 TBSP)
1 tsp curry powder
dash cayenne

Put above in microwaveable bowl, cover and microwave until soft (not soggy). I do 3 minutes, check and do 2-3 more if needed.
Then stir in your choice of pre-cooked lean protein (leftover slices of steak were really good!)

This is my favorite way to have cauliflower - it also makes a really good soup if you throw it in the blender and puree it (without the meat).

Hey - here is my new favorite breakfast:

Heat a smal pan with about 1/2 tsp olive oil, add 4 oz lean ground turkey, cook until no longer pink, stirring around often, add 1-2 cups broccoli slaw (shredded broccoli, a little cabbage and carrots) and a splash of chicken broth. Add curry powder if desired, cook until borccoli is wilted.

Mean while - preheat a large pan, spray with cooking spray, cook 1 egg+3 whites, mixed with curry powder and cayenne pepper, into a thin layer, place broccoli/turkey mix on top, fold egg layer over and voila! My new favorite omelet... if you are feeling like cheating a little 9not really) you can add one wedge of laughing cow light cheese to the broccoli while it cooks, so that it melts and blends in - very tasty!!!!
