Just read an article that reiterates our mantra: diet tips that work are those that fit into your life seamlessly. Here's a recipe makeover that I made for dinner last night that defines what we mean. It's a classic: delicious, easy, fast and you'll never notice how much healthier it is!
Ingredients (for 6 servings):
12 oz whole wheat spaghetti
26 oz jar tomato sauce (low sodium is better but your favorite is fine)
1.3 lb ground turkey (breast is better)
Parmesan cheese
Cook the spaghetti according to directions. Meanwhile brown the ground turkey in a skillet. Drain the excess fat if you use 93% lean ground turkey - if you use breast there won't be any excess fat. Pour the tomato sauce over the cooked meat; heat through. Top the pasta with the meat sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan if desired. Serve with a side salad.
How easy is that. Dinner in about 15 minutes. You can make over any of your favorite dinners by substituting ingredients that are lower in fat, calories and contain more nutrients than the old standbys.
