Fabulous Food Friday with Debbi Does Dinner...


Welcome to Fabulous Food Friday! While exploring the blogosphere, I realized that there were many great recipes to share. So every Friday, I am going to try to feature an awesome blogger with their great recipe! Today’s feature blogger is Debbi from Debbi Does Dinner...Healthy and Low Calorie. When you get a chance, swing by Debbi's yummy blog.  I’m sure you’ll find a recipe you and your family will love. Debbi has even altered many of my recipes to make them healthier for your family!  Here's one of Debbi's favorite recipes:


This is one of most favorite recipes. I could eat these every week (and often do!). I found this recipe first at Picky Palate, she takes the most amazing pictures! We've played around with the recipe a bit and below is how we like it here. I've noticed that the size of the bag of broccoli slaw differs depending where you shop. Cub has 10 oz. bags and Walmart has 16 oz. bags. I've even seen 12 oz. bags before. Just use what you find. I don't often mention brand names but I do believe that LaChoy teriyaki sauce is key here. I've tried Kikkoman which is cheaper (at Costco) and it's lower in calorie but it's much thinner and doesn't seem to taste as good or coat the broccoli slaw as well. I also use the jarred ginger and garlic for this recipe, it seems to work fine and I do put a lot of garlic in this. I usually wrap these with my tortillas but they are fantastic as lettuce wraps as well.



Asian Turkey Broccoli Slaw Teriyaki Wraps


Cooking spray
1 large chopped onion
1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tbsp. ginger
2 tbsp. garlic
2 - 10 oz. bags of broccoli slaw
1 small can of water chestnuts, rough chopped
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. LaChoy teriyaki sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil

8 in. whole wheat 100 calorie tortillas or lettuce leaves


Spray cooking spray into a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, when it is almost done, add onion. When turkey is completely done, add garlic and ginger and stir for about 1 minute. Stir in broccoli slaw, water chestnuts, teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until broccoli is wilted down and heated through. Serve in slightly heaping 1/2 cup portions on 8 in. tortillas or lettuce leaves.
