Tips for stocking a healthy pantry

Having healthy meal and snack items on hand can make after-school, post-work and
dinnertime eating easier and more nutritious, registered dietitians Lori
Deering and Debbie Stone say. They suggest stocking up on canned salmon and
tuna, nuts and seeds, dried fruit, canned beans and whole grains, including
pasta and oatmeal. The Post-Crescent (Appleton, Wis.)


Turkey Chili with Brown Rice

I had the
pleasure of speaking to Marriage Ministry and Bethel A.M.E. Church in
Wilmington Delaware. I planned a meal for them that was low in calories, fat,
and sodium.

Turkey Chili

2lbs Ground Turkey

8 oz diced white onion

8 oz diced green pepper

8 oz kidney beans

32 oz crushed tomatoes

1 tbs cumin

1 tbs chili powder

2 tbs olive oil

1 qt

  1. In a sauté pan cook ground turkey,
    and then drain excess grease and place ground turkey in a bowl and use for
    later.
  2. In a sauce pot, turn flame to high
    and add cumin and chili powder in the dry pan and let the spices toast for
    about 30 seconds once you see the pan start to smoke a little then add onions,
    peppers, kidney beans and olive oil and sauté for 5 minutes.
  3. Then add the cans of crushed tomatoes
    and cooked ground turkey. Once mixture comes to a boil turn the flame down to a
    simmer and stir occasionally. Serve after about 30 minutes of simmering.
