Here's something I just threw together for dinner tonight for my son and I. They are Turkey (or you could use chicken) Nuggets that are egg, soy, dairy and wheat free. I didn't write it down as I did it like I usually do, so there will be some approximations. Sorry!
Here's what I did:
In a food processor bowl with the chopping blade, combine
1 to 1 1/2 pounds cooked, deboned and skinless turkey meat (or chicken)
about 1/2 to 2/3 cup unsalted broth*
about 1/3 cup cornstarch or tapioca flour
1 packet unflavored Knox gelatin
2 to 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/2 tablespoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons parsley flakes
*Be careful with broths. If you are new to allergy cooking, be sure and always read the labels. Manufacturers put soy, yeast, sugar and wheat in just about everything imaginable and even things unimaginable!
Chop the meat and seasonings on low speed until they are finely minced. Taste the meat to be sure you don't need to add any seasonings to it. Form the meat mixture into 1" to 2" flattened balls.
Pour about 1/2 cup goat's milk yogurt (or other milk beverage you can tolerate) into a bowl. Drop the balls of meat into the yogurt mixture one at a time until they are well coated.
Put about 3/4 cup of cornmeal into another bowl. Drop the yogurt covered meat balls into the cornmeal one at a time shaking them and turning them until they are well coated.
Fry them in hot fat, about 3/4" deep until they are golden brown. Makes about 24.
Tomato and Sugar-free Baked Beans
They were serving pork n' beans where we were dining tonight, and I know my son likes them. I made some for us without any tomatoes or sugar.
1 - 14 ounce can black beans (with no sugar added)
1/2 tablespoon dried sliced garlic (or about 2 cloves of fresh garlic)
1 tablespoon dried minced onion (or about 1/4 cup fresh)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 packets Truvia
Put all the ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat with a lid and heat them until they are heated through. Makes 4 servings.
