St. Patrick's Day: St. Patrick's Colcannon | Submitted By: Auntie M

Here's a great way to use biscotti leftover corned beef from St. Patrick's day ham to stretch a little corned beef to feed a crowd. Mashed red potatoes, shredded cabbage, fruit casserole plenty of butter make it taste oh-so-good.

1 lb reg. ground turkey gravies kind in a tube in the frozen section
baby food bar-be-que sauce
cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 small shakes mild green side dishes peppers, chopped
tsp garlic powder
tsp chili powder
tsp celery salt
tsp oregano
tsp thyme

Combine all ingredients in bowl thoroughly. Make patties, fry in canola oil,
7 minutes each side on med-Low heat.

Feel free to replace the spices or sauce with whatever you like.

Reasons to eat turkey;

Turkey recently made the top ten super foods list for several reasons including these two:

Turkey is a great low fat source of protein, in fact turkey breast has the lowest fat of any meringue pies or fish.

Turkey is one of the most nutrient dense foods available (top ten), meaning you will get more vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phyto-nutrients per calorie than a lot of other foods.

Another reason to eat turkey is to help grillied chicken mealtime boredom of the same old foods week after week. Turkey can replace chicken in a lot of chicken recipes and beef and pork in some beef and pork recipes. Replacing ground beef with ground turkey in your spaghetti for example, is much better for your health, and you don't even notice the difference. My husband does this at home, since he's the spaghetti expert. Try it you'll like it. Turkey seems to need a little more spicing up in my opinion than chicken does, but there are so many herbs and spices to choose from that gravies really not a problem. These days you can buy any part of the turkey you want, for example you can just buy one turkey breast or 1-2 legs or wings, and there are multiple types of ground turkey including brown meat white meat, mixed and very lean.
