1.Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chicken or turkey and cook until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside, approximately 20 minutes. Drain, cool and chop.

2.Meanwhile, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, rinse with cold water, 2 minutes, peel and slice.

3.In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, sliced eggs, apple, onions, relish, mayonnaise, celery, pineapple (with just a little juice for flavor), cilantro, seasoning to taste.

Turkey Omelette

4 eggs
1 green onion, sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 cup cooked turkey meat, shredded
1/2 cup seeded diced tomato ( you can add sauteed onion, peppers, mushrooms, steamed broccoli)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Directions:

In a bowl, beat eggs, onion, parsley, tarragon, salt and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add egg mixture. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath.

This would also work with the sausage instead of the turkey, just brown then add to the omelette.

What are some good healthy spices or seasonings to add to my food and where can I get them?




Thinking


I'm looking for some good healthy seasonings and spices that will make my food taste better like rice, eggs, chicken, etc.


Answer
Common herbs and spices may help protect against certain chronic conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Herbs, including basil and parsley, are from plants and plant parts. Spices often come from the seeds, berries, bark, or roots of plants. You can purchase fresh herbs in most supermarkets and produce shops. Almost all groceries and supermarkets carry a variety of dried herbs and spices.

Seasonings, such as cinnamon, often lead lists of commonly eaten foods with the highest levels of measured antioxidant activity.

You don’t need to make drastic changes in your eating plan to benefit from seasonings. Here’s how to incorporate more herbs and spices into your favorite foods.

Fresh herbs are healthier than dried and can be used as a garnish for your rice, eggs, chicken, beef, etc. Dried herbs are best cooked with your rice, chicken etc. Ground seasonings can be used as a garnish, but use lightly and as an ingredient in the cooking process of recipes.

Ground cinnamon: Add 1.25 teaspoons to prepared oatmeal; 1 cup Greek yogurt mixed with 2 teaspoons molasses or honey, or artificial sweetener; and French toast batter.
Sprinkle half a teaspoon of cinnamon over ground coffee before brewing.
Top a fat-free latte or hot cocoa with ground cinnamon. Toss rice with ground cinnamon and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Chili peppers: Add chopped peppers to chili, burgers, soups, stews, salsa, and egg dishes.

Turmeric: Sprinkle on egg salad. Mix half a teaspoon turmeric with 1 cup Greek yogurt and use as a dip or sandwich spread.
Add to chicken or seafood casseroles, and to water when cooking rice.

Garlic: Add fresh chopped or minced garlic to pasta dishes, stir-fry dishes, pizza, fresh tomato sauce, and meat and poultry recipes.

Oregano: Add 1/8 teaspoon dried to scrambled eggs, salad dressings, and store-bought or homemade marinara sauce.
Sprinkle some on top of pizza, and stir into black bean soup.

Basil: Make a sandwich with low-fat mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves; add fresh leaves to green salads. Fresh Basil is good mixed into eggs or sprinkled on chicken.

Thyme: Sprinkle dried thyme onto cooked vegetables in place of butter or margarine.
Add 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme to two scrambled eggs, and to salad dressings.
Use it in a rub when cooking salmon.
Add fresh thyme to chicken salad and chicken soup.

Rosemary: Add dried crushed rosemary to mashed potatoes and vegetable omelets.

Parsley: Add chopped flat leaf parsley to meatballs and meat loaf, and to bulgur salad.

Ginger: Grate fresh ginger into quick bread batters and vinaigrettes.
Add chopped ginger to stir-fries. Sprinkle ground ginger on cooked carrots.

Cloves: Sprinkle ground cloves on applesauce, add to quick bread batters, and add a pinch to hot tea.
