 Easy Refrigerator Greens Omelette- AC Art Of Food One Saturday a few weeks ago, I needed a protein packed bite to eat right after my workout but was short on time since I needed to be at the grocery store within the hour. So what’s a culinary health resource foodie to do?!?!? Since I was at the end of the week, there were only small amounts of my weekly haul of kale, spinach, green onions, and fresh herbs left over in the fridge crisper unused from the week’s meals. Now I have posted previously on how to make a delicious ‘green’ omelette, but this is just a reminder that when you’re bored with the hum-drum of scrambled, fried, and/or boiled eggs, it’s always a great idea to use what you have on hand in the fridge to make something protein rich, folded(lol!), and tasty!  Delicious Bio Coffee- AC Art Of Food And what delicious warm beverage do I sip in the mornings while feasting on my breakfast? Why a cup of DELICIOUS coffee of course! But not just any cup of coffee, my Bio Coffee! Bio Coffee is the ONLY true alkaline coffee on the shelves today with a full serving of vegetables and wheatgrass! Ok, a bit much for your usual morning java? Seems to good to be true? A 'healthy' coffee with all this goodness and mercy couldn't possibly taste good, right? This satisfying vitamin-rich blend reminds me of a favorite cappuccino mix from a certain company with an 'international' name. It's truly an amazing treat that my hubby and I enjoy literally every morning. The aroma is so enticing that you have to indulge in a cup! No worries if you need it to be a tad bit sweeter, simply add a tablespoon of your favorite plant based creamer and WHOLA! So while you're reducing food waste by making my Easy Refrigerator Greens Omelette, DON'T FORGET get your cup of culinary health morning joe! What are some dishes you create from left over items in your fridge? Let me know in the comments below! Easy Refrigerator Greens Omelette- AC Art Of Food easy refrigerator greens omelette

 Sautéed Collards w/ Garlic & Sherry, AC Art Of Food For the record, I was raised on the goodness and mercy of a big pot of greens sitting on the stove on any given Sunday. Simmering bushels of leafy collards crowded with several ham hocks, onions, and peppers. Ohhhhh the days! Don't get me wrong, this leafy vegetable remains a cornerstone dish in my kitchen and I'm certain many other kitchens alike. However, once you know better you absolutely have no choice but to do better. So after tossing the ham hocks (nope, not even a smoked turkey wing!), I imagined a healthier and just as tasty version of this essential green. The creation of my Quick Sautéed Collards w/ Garlic & Sherry helped me maintain the best of both worlds. This delicious health-full plant is prepared in such a way that the vitamins, minerals, and valuable nutrients stay locked in- hence the 'quick' in the recipe title, lol! Unlike back in the day where that pot of greens would stay boiling on the stove ALL DAY long! *History Taste Bud*: Pot Liquor, as it's often referred, is essentially these liquid/juices from the greens that cooked all day on that very stove in most African American homes. This pot liquor was oftentimes consumed separately as an additional supplement and also given to babies for nourishment because of its rich nutrient content.* And the texture! The sherry adds a tasty component that helps in breaking down the leaves with added flavor that matches a days worth of cooking. These greens are amazingly tender, delicious, and so filling that you'll want to make more! And that's a good thing health wise as well as time wise- I mean really, the whole dish is ready from prep to plate in less than 15 minutes! This dish is also heart healthy with the use of garlic and olive oil in combination with this vitamin and mineral rich green. What's not to love about that? What do you like to eat with your greens? let me know in the comments below! A New Years Trifecta, Collards, Blacked Peas, Ginger Roasted Broccoli, AC Art Of Food Quick SAUTÉED collards with garlic & Sherry Broccoli Slaw & Rice Noodle Stir-fry with a side of Crisp Tofu, AC Art Of Food Ever been in the produce section of the grocery store, and while picking up a package of your favorite salad blend you notice that container of broccoli shreds? You know, it resembles the bag of shredded cabbage and carrots for a make-quick coleslaw, but it's green? Well I've grabbed a bag here and there, usually when it's warmer out though. I'll mix it with a zesty garlic dressing and toss in some grilled shrimp for a light and delicious quick summer dinner. But what else could I use it for? I mean it's broccoli for crying out loud! Accompanied with nutrient rich carrots and purple cabbage. It's a package full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber goodness and mercy! What else would make it sing as a side or a main? Enter Broccoli Slaw & Rice Noodle Stir-fry! What an absolute genius way to make this convenient crisp and crunchy veggie mix sing! I mean, in 15 minutes or less this light and healthy dish comes together with great texture and Asian flare! Kicking it up a notch and stepping outside-of-the box, I opt for the rice 'noodle' as opposed to the more traditional long or short rice grain. Add your choice of grilled, baked, or broiled protein such as chicken, tofu, and/or seafood, and you're set for a one pan experience! However, my preference is having it alone as a noodle bowl with the addition of only a splash of sriracha. I say an 'additional' splash of sriracha because the recipe calls for my ACAOF Stir-fry Sauce to be mixed in the dish which includes the spicy condiment. Now, feel free to use your favorite store bought sauce, I just love this sauce because I know exactly what's in it and don't have to worry about the extra ingredients I don't need. ACAOF Stir-fry Sauce It's simple, just mix together:
This sauce brings the dish together in such a delicious way, it's no wonder I chose to devour it all by itself!  Broccoli Slaw & Rice Noodle Stir-fry, AC Art Of Food How would you serve this dish? Are you solo, or would you top it? |

Smooth & Creamy Cheesy Sauce with Broccoli , AC Art Of Food
A really delicious cheese sauce is not the usual thing you’d think to make from scratch. It’s one of those items that you simply purchase to add to a dish. You buy cheese to nuke in your microwave and pour over your nachos, fries, and hot dogs.
You buy the cheese product that you cube and toss in your slow cooker for the ever fitting gathering appetizer which is ‘Rotel Cheese Dip’.
And you usually buy this same cheese to melt and pour over your pipping hot baked potato.

The Question: Just How 'Fresh' is Amazon's Grocery Delivery Service...Really?
Unlike most of you out there, I adore grocery shopping! I mean seriously, the whole preparation of seeking out weekly deals, coupons, planning the meals for the week to produce the list, and the art of deciding from which of the 3-4 stores I will arrive at first on Saturdays to retrieve the best deals for my selections sends tingles down my spine! Hell, I even started my own grocery concierge- ‘A Cart Of Food’ (see the play on the name, lol!), where I would grocery shop for clients. I had a few clients that were extremely happy, however, time became an issue, and well, let’s face it- when the big box Instacart, Clicklist, and AmazonFresh businesses came on the scene, it was laughable for just me to compete on the larger scale. And in this case the old saying rings true, if you can’t beat them, have them do your shopping too!

Grocery shopping Saturday for AC Art Of Food!
This past Monday I found myself stranded without a vehicle since my hubby took one to work and my oldest used the other to get to school. I had just gotten back in town and had not yet had the opportunity to grocery shop for the family before the week got started. This is when I decided I would try the Amazon Fresh service. Already a proud and loyal Prime member, on top of having several close friends to positively speak of their personal experiences, I decided to give it a go! I was thoroughly impressed by the easy online process from beginning to end along with the selection of fresh, organic, and familiar trusted brands. Unfortunately after selecting my items, I realized that they did not deliver same day, and decided to cancel my cart. Customer service with Amazon Fresh is no different from that of Prime where courteous and pleasant reps are always speaking with a smile and ready to accommodate however they can.
Although unable to receive the service on Monday, I thought it a great idea to still utilize the service along with my regular Saturday shopping excursion just for the experience and to see if and how I could maybe incorporate this convenience going forward. So just like earlier in the week, on Friday before I walked out the office, I made my selection of approximately 20 items to be delivered between the hours of 7-9am for the following day, approved the tip amount for the driver, and pondered if this grocery shopping method was cost-friendlier than my normal Saturday pavement-pounding only ritual.
Later that evening around 11pm, my family tells me things they would like added to the list….really….at 11pm!?! No worries, I pull up the app and the banner let’s me know that I am STILL able to add items to my list for the same delivery window time! So I add my son’s bananas and my hubby’s cereal, and turn in for the evening.

Groceries arrived safely and on time! AC Art Of Food
Bright and early around 7am, my phone rings and it’s the Amazon Fresh delivery guy letting me know he’s at my door with my groceries. Super excited, I jump out of bed, throw on the robe (y’all it’s cold out now!) and completely ignore the fact that my hair is standing up on its own on top of my head. It doesn’t even matter because I am literally feeling like a kid on Christmas morning! The driver is SUPER nice and friendly for it to be that early in the morning. He insists on handing me each bag and for me not to have to bend and reach to grab them on my own. He does not enter the house, but stands where he can safely hand each bag to me to where I can securely bring them in. Once all the bags are in he wishes me a great day and thanks me for my business. Awesome experience! I hurriedly transport each bag to my kitchen island and immediately break into each literally like it’s the morning of December 25th! My eyes are all starried as I reach in checking off each item on my list I pull it out of the bag. However, my eyes become a little less excited as I see that I am almost done opening my packages, but there are way more items on my list still to be checked off. Dang it! I realize they have forgotten at least 8 items from my list. And the missing items aren’t even the last minute ones I added just several hours prior. My heart sank as I contacted Amazon to tell them what happened. The rep, as usual, was very nice in listening to my ordeal, but simply offered the choice of a refund or delivery of the missing items. Unfortunately, the earliest my incognito items could be delivered was 9pm. I expressed that a refund would be fine and I would just have to make a trip out to get the forgotten items since it would be so late for them to re-deliver to me. And that was it. She did apologize for the inconvenience, which is great, but that doesn’t help the fact that now I have to leave my home to pick up grocery items, COMPLETELY defeating the purpose of the service. Unsettled by this resolution, I reached back out to Amazon Fresh and spoke with Jinell, who after hearing what happened did not hesitate to extend a credit for the mishap.
A nice haul, just missing some items- AC Art Of Food
Now, will I use this service again? Absolutely! I completely understand that things happen and have every bit of confidence that they will get it right, and that when issues arise they will handle it promptly and accordingly to my satisfaction- as they have always through Amazon Prime.
Just a little info on Amazon Fresh- AC Art Of Food
SOME INFO:
THE GOOD:
THE BAD:
THE OPPORTUNITY:
- Amazon Fresh is $14.95 monthly for Amazon Prime members. Personally I felt that with the annual fee, not to mention the recent increase in the monthly Prime membership, that this would have been an included service for members. However, I was told by the representative that the amount of sales and coupons provided by Amazon Fresh online will in most cases eat up this fee.
- This is not a same day service so plan accordingly at least a day prior. There is the option to have your items left outside your door and an ‘Attended’ option to be notified if you are home to personally receive your groceries.
THE GOOD:
- Ease and convenience.
- Easy user-friendly interface.
- Quality selection of products, organic, and trusted brands (Whole Foods products).
- Comparable prices to what you’d find in the stores and in some cases even less expensive.
- EXCELLENT delivery experience
- Effective issue resolution
- Proper storage for cold and frozen items (some of my bags had partially frozen water bottles in the bags to keep the refrigerated items cool and ice packs/bags to keep frozen items frozen!)
THE BAD:
- Not having an accurate out-the-door checkpoint to ensure all items are correctly selected for orders.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
- For a more effective issue resolution, train customer service reps to automatically provide an 'inconvenience credit' for missing items when a refund is requested.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner....again! The year goes by so fast, but just in time to sit side-by-side with the featured holiday turkey is my amazingly delicious Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/ Honey, Blue Cheese & Crisp Sage!

This is indeed a super easy, super simple dish with a beautiful presentation that will jazz up any usual Thanksgiving dinner table. I actually revamped this from a summer post made last year but lends itself to perfection now being in the ideal season.

Easy Sneaky Sloppy Joes, AC Art Of Food
I remember when I was a kid my mom never made sloppy joes and that I only got to devour them when I would sleep over at a friend’s house! I’m sure her reluctance had everything to do with the unhealthy contents of the canin which it came. For this reason, plus the fact that my husband has a deep passion for these accompanied with tater tots, my Easy Sneaky Sloppy Joes have reignited my childhood, and from a healthier perspective my mother would be proud of.
Carrots put the 'sneaky' in my Easy Sneaky Sloppy Joes, AC Art Of Food
What’s the ‘sneaky’ you ask? Carrots! Not only do they provide the obvious nutritional vitamin benefits such as lycopene, but they also add a natural sweetness to the sauce! And trust, the kids will be none the wiser! Ha, my hubby doesn’t even know I sneak them in there! It ain’t easy being sneaky- so enjoy, guilt free!
Sandwich this delicious filling between your favorite choice of bun. My family typically raves over a potato roll. However, we have also ventured out to the Hawaiian, brioche, artisan rolls, and of course for my keto-diet-friendly foodies, a nice firm leaf of romaine a scrumptious substitute!

The combination of sweet-tart cherries and the savory creaminess of this fresh cheese make for a phenomenal appetizer in my super simple Goat Cheese Spread & Cherry Compote Crostini.
Last weekend I decided to bring the retro 'dinner party' term to life in 2018. What started off as a make-up for a missed birthday event for a friend, turned into a beautiful opportunity to celebrate a good friend, along with good food!

The key to an enjoyable evening of cooking for friends is to not over-complicate the process. Deliciously simple is the way to win! And what's easier than bread, cheese, and fruit? Now, I'm known to put a mean cheese platter together loaded with wonderful fresh and aged cheese varieties, salty dried meats, nuts, sweet dried and fresh fruit, and various gourmet crackers. However, I decided I wanted a more 'Autumn' feel. While my infamous cheese platters are all the rave when it's warmer out, I wanted to take a different approach for the cooler time of the year. Warm crusty bread, creamy herb cheese spread, and deep earthy sweetness of stewed-like stone fruit just speaks 'Fall is here'!
My initial dried fruit of choice was cranberries. However, right next to the package was an equally tasty looking bag of dried cherries! Needless to say, either one would work magically, but my love for cherries during the summertime spoke a little louder given that I could bring them to life in the Fall. Not to mention the awesome health benefits cherries have such as melatonin(sleep aid), cardiovascular health, anti-aging properties, as well as having the power to lower hypertension.
For the cheese spread, cream cheese is added to create a more smooth consistency when spreading as opposed to the goat cheese alone having the tendency to crumble when applied. But no worries, the tangy goat cheese flavor still reigns supreme!
The baguette in this assembly presents a heartier vehicle for this delicious foodie topping combo that brings its own delicious identity when drizzled with fresh extra virgin olive oil. The sprinkle is simply added flavor. Remember, in cooking you must season each layer for maximum flavor!

Green Goodness Curry Taco Boats, AC Art Of Food
*happy NATIONAL TACO DAY*
My trainer instructed me to forego carbs after breakfast for the remainder of the day to achieve one of my health goals. This is not a problem with these fresh and crisp Green Goodness Curry Taco Boats. I generally try to leave carbs alone in the evening anyway and this recipe makes it so much easier to do so! This is essentially why I created such a delicious twist on the usual 'Taco Tuesday'.
Even though the shell has been replaced with a cool and refreshing crisp lettuce leaf, the warm vibrant and rustic flavors of the curry spice balance this one-handed masterpiece perfectly. With Abstract Spice as the all natural seasoning base for flavor, the added rich fall spices of curry and paprika are heightened for a more distinguished tasting taco. Taking this flavor to an additional level is the arugula. Usually I have fresh cilantro as a garnish for my tacos that packs bright flavor, however, the 'peppery' bite of arugula deepens the warm spice tones to pair even more harmoniously with these tacos. Finishing with a squeeze of lime adding delicious zing to the layers of flavor and freshness, these tacos are a force to be reckoned with!
Like with many of my newer recipes, my Green Goodness Curry Taco Boats also include simple ingredients and preparation making it an ideal recipe to prepare during the week. You can even prepare the curry seasoned filling ahead of time and just heat and serve when you like. These are also super convenient for packing for lunch!
Even though the shell has been replaced with a cool and refreshing crisp lettuce leaf, the warm vibrant and rustic flavors of the curry spice balance this one-handed masterpiece perfectly.

Lunch Time! The versatility of Simple Abstract Spice Grilled Salmon, AC Art Of Food
One of my ACAOFoodies posed a question for me on IG inquiring where I purchased my fish here in Atlanta, here's my reply:
Hey hon! Because salmon is not always in season I try at all times to get it wild, obviously even when it IS in season. However, if it's out of season I try to purchase it at @costco where they have a sticker on the package of their fresh salmon when it's out of season that states it's antibiotic free/responsibly raised. Try to go to a fish market if possible though. You know our ❤30349❤ connect 'Fulton Bay Fish Market' on Roosevelt is a trusted neighborhood spot- but remember they're closed Sun-Tues😉. And if you want a larger selection, you can't beat @yourdekalbfarmersmarket - open err'day from 9am-9pm! (except for Christmas and Thanksgiving). As far as the types of fish that I ADORE, and of course good for you😜, are trout(my fav right now❤), good ol' whitting is awesome as well. Cod is also an excellent thicker meaty fish compared to these others I mentioned. Hope this helps babe!! Let me know!!

Fall Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes, AC Art Of Food!
I was looking for a delicious way to welcome the cooler season for breakfast and created these Fall Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes! Unlike your ordinary pancake, these are full of texture and the warm taste of Autumn. The almond flour presents the hearty texture thats filling and fluffy at the same time. Packed with whole oats and ground almonds, they are also an excellent source of fiber and protein.
And can you believe it, they have the nerve to be better for you than your standard white flour based pancake too!

 Fall Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancake ingredients, AC Art Of Food |  Fall Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes- mixed and ready to pour! AC Art Of Food |
The ingredients are whole and simple. You can purchase oat flour, however, I take my rolled oats in the canister and toss them into my mini-blender and ground my own flour. This is an awesome tip to use that will yield an all-natural 100% product, fresh, and a save to your pockets.
Around this time right at the turn of the season, grocery store shelves are packed with pumpkin spices throughout! I snagged my spice at one of my favorite farmer's markets that I have been patroning for as long as I can remember! Yep, none other than Your Dekalb Farmer's Market! My goodness, they have everything in there!
These Fall Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes are sure to become a season tradition in our home. Obviously butter and maple syrup are a must. But adding warm spiced apples on top would definitely set these babies off right!
There's no better way to say 'Welcome Fall'!

Super Easy Garlic & Herb Cauli Mash, AC Art Of Food photocred: veggie on a penny
I am so in love with this dish, my Super Easy Garlic & Herb Cauli Mash! I know, I know, the versatility of the cauliflower has been trending for a while now, and believe me, I have purchased several heads of cauliflower for over a year now and have never attempted the simplest of recipes for it, namely this mash. I would buy it with great intentions and hope for a carb-free crust for our family's Friday Pizza Nights. Even got an idea to blend it smooth for a nice and creamy chowder. Unfortunately, it would just end up sitting in my crisper, sometimes half eaten if I chose to roast it alongside some fresh broccoli florets. However, just a few months ago while on vacay I did experience a phenomenally health-wise dish that I have since tweaked and renamed (recipe post coming soon!). But mashed potatoes? Like, I have experienced the worst and inadvertently, the absolute BEST mashed potatoes. Boxed and from scratch. Soupy and some so thick you needed a knife AND fork! Needless to say, I’m serious about my mashed potatoes! So how can I consciously attempt to fool my family, let alone myself, with such a switch? And I believe that was the issue- it's a texture thing. Part of the greatness of what makes my Grandma JJ's homemade mashed potatoes the very BEST was the divine texture. Not too smooth, not too thick, intermittent lumps that would melt in your mouth. See! How can this cruciferous vegetable even come close? Other than the no/low carb factor and the benefit of it being all vegetable, taste wise.... I was skeptical.
Super Easy Garlic & Herb Cauli Mash, AC Art OF Food photo cred: the novice gardenener
But low and behold, I DID IT! I created my very first cauliflower mash! I prepared this dish just as I would my standard from scratch mashed potatoes and the result was delicious! The look was not so much that of the mashed potatoes. While others that sampled this mash were floored that it tasted 'just like mashed potatoes', I personally fell prey to the texture difference. The flavor indeed is an amazing resemblance, but the texture, other than being a bit thick and creamy, was not. It was missing the starchy ‘grainy’ texture that cooked potatoes possess- but not a deal breaker by far! This is a definite go-to in the Price household going forward! As a matter of fact, I'm posting this recipe at the request of one of my tasters, lol!
What's more is that this delicious recipe has the comforting flavor of homemade mashed potatoes, without the guilt! Only 33 calories and 3 carbs per serving! Compare that to the 129 calories and 25 grams of carb in real mashed potatoes per serving!

  |  Super Simple Fresh Strawberries & Cream- AC Art Of Food |   |
Who would have thought something so simple could be so satisfying? Super Simple Fresh Strawberries & Cream is just that something!
Now don't get me wrong, nothing says summer like a delicious bowl of strawberry shortcake, but now that I'm incorporating everything into creating a healthier lifestyle, I decided to bring this cherished, comfort-food dessert into a delicious treat- minus the 'cake'. What's more is I can do it for under 100 calories a serving!
While this post is primarily about strawberries, other fresh fruit is super ideal to make variations to this delicious and light recipe. Sliced banana, slivered almonds, and a cherry on top is sure to be your new guilt-free-go-to banana split fav, but don't stop at fresh! Grilled fruit loves fresh whipped cream just as much. In fact, grilled pineapple and peaches literally curls my toes and drives me into my happy dance! And just in case you were wondering, my son thought it would be a great idea to secure a chocolate sandwich cooke as the topping in the pic below, lol!
I must admit I was a bit hesitant to even think that whipped cream would satisfy my sweet tooth for a cool, refreshing, vanilla topping. I naturally coveted 'ice cream' as the ideal accompaniment. Boy was I wrong! Whipped cream is super light yet flavor potent, and might I add nearly 230 calories LESS than its iced counterpart! YES! Two tablespoons of 'real' whipped cream is only 15 calories with less than 1 gram of sugar! (...I'll wait and let you read that again). This is literally a win-win situation. So check the recipe below and become a winner!!

Super Simple fresh strawberries & Cream
These Chocolate & Cherry Nut Pre-Workout Protein Bars come as a result of my trainer suggesting I focus on my carb consumption prior to my workouts to maximize the calorie burn and muscle build. As an obedient student, of course I complied. However, being the true culinary health foodie I am, I decided to conjure up my own 'weapon' to use in my weight battle and workout victory as opposed to the store bought options.
These bars are perfectly convenient to grab-go-and-toss in your lunch or workout bag. I enjoy a bar 30 minutes prior to my workout to get the fuel needed to power through my workout with a 'boosted' calorie burn weapon!
The sweet-tart juicy burst from the dried cherries combined with the creamy chocolate goodness of the chips is like a symphony of flavors backed with the satisfying crunch of the walnuts. While I would not recommend these bars as a dessert treat since their sweetness is mainly derived from the cherries and dark chocolate alone, this dense bar is a super delicious treat that motivates me to live my best workout!
*NOTE: To make this more of a sweeter treat, add 1/2 cup brown sugar to the mix.

Salad or wrap? Wrap or salad? Which one and how do you choose? And are they really doing your body good?
Well, it depends ultimately on what you're looking for. Salads are light and refreshing meals that don't make you feel guilty...right? Well you may be surprised to find the calorie counts to be high and health ratings low in some of your favorite salads. This is largely due to the high-fat content in the dressings that make them taste sooooo good! For the amount of dressing added to these 'healthy' salads from our favorite restaurants, calories can skyrocket upwards of 300 calories alone! Not only that, but add the cheese, nuts, dried fruits, meats protein, boiled egg, croutons, etc., and your healthy-option-salad is running neck-and-neck with, if not exceeding the calorie count of your average cheese burger combo meal.
No fear, AC Art Of Food is here! My Black Bean & Greens Salad is a super healthy flavorful one that includes a modest selection of ingredients that are flavor-packed and nutrient rich. Simplicity speaks volumes!!

RULES OF THUMB:
- Less is best- choose your favorite 3 ingredients, no more than 4 and add to your salad greens.
- Oil & vinegar, or my favorite, lemon & oil are super delicious with a pinch of sea salt, garlic powder, and fresh cracked pepper- don't knock it 'till you try it, you'll be surprised!
- Want more of a creamy taste- make avocado one of your toppings with the dressing option above.
- WRAPS: Size is everything! Smaller wraps tend to run between 75-120 calories, much lower than their larger counterparts and are just as filling! Portion control is key- EVERYTHING in moderation.
Wrapped up and ready to go!
Oh, and no worries about choosing salad or wrap! The recipe below is for both! Now that's what I call winning with options!

...served over couscous.
Say the word 'smothered' alone and you can pretty much get any hungry individual running to the table. This recipe came about while trying to convince my family that meatloaf would be great for Sunday dinner! Unfortunately, they didn't think the same. With ground turkey on hand (and thawed) I knew I didn't want to prepare burgers (again), but something more hearty, healthy, not too time consuming to prepare, and easy on the waistline (without them knowing, ha!). So I peeked in my pantry and saw that I had a couple of containers of vegetable broth, and the idea wheels started turning resulting in this delicious recipe for our Sunday dinner.
I used a pan to prepare half of the patties until I looked over my shoulder at the air fryer calling my name. One of my best girlfriends had just raved about a batch of turkey burgers she prepared in hers that were amazing! Not only that, but the time, calorie count, and clean up were all a favorable 'win-win'! In almost no time at all, dinner was served!

Not only that, but the time, calorie count, and clean up were all a favorable 'win-win'! In almost no time at all, dinner was served!
...chopped collards added for the 'one-pan-meal' advantage- served over garlic mashed potatoes.
Luckily my hearty one-pan-meal experiment was a success!! My family loved it so much that it was requested two Sundays in a row...primarily because they grimaced at the couscous I served with it the first time around and begged my homemade mashed potatoes accompany the patties and gravy the second time. However, not only did the mashed potatoes make an appearance, but I decided to add some extra greenery by sautéing in fresh chopped collards to the gravy. Now this version I call 'Turkey Patties in Goodness Gracious Gravy!' This step simply adds more vitamins, nutrients, and fiber to the already 'light' dish. The gravy overall in both versions is a light and thin sauce that satisfies in taste without the heaviness of a traditional oil based thick sauce gravy.
What's more, this dish can be created vegan and vegetarian! Omit the turkey patty and add in your favorite veggie meat-alternative protein (veggie/bean burgers work beautifully!). Want a more clean and less processed approach? Omit the patty altogether and opt for a portobello mushroom cap or eggplant slice- make it your own!
Which version of this dish would you prefer? How can you make it your own?
