Recipe .. Kathleen's Fabulous Egg Salad

This may seem an odd inclusion as a Slim Recipe. However, it is so satisfying it is easy to savor a small portion. Serve it on cocktail rye toasted as shown here! Or savor a generous dollop on six Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Crackers. Yummmmmm.

As I'm currently living with my lovely 91 year old mom and other family members drop by from time to time, I usually do a full dozen eggs. As a single person, I'd do eight eggs, so I'd have several meals-worth.

Having instant yummy meal options makes it easier to choose healthy, yummy, slimming foods.

Ingredients:

8 - 12 hard boiled eggs, minced
Red Onion, minced
Celery, minced
Red Pepper, minced
Country Dijon Grey Poupon Mustard
Best Foods Mayonaise


I generally create a pile of onion, an equal pile of both celery and red pepper. Then mix them together on the cutting board before adding them to the minced hard boiled eggs. I add just enough mayo to bind everything. (My mom adds more mayo directly to her sandwiches; she really likes mayo.) Then, at least a heaping teaspoon of the mustard.

Recipe ... Yummy Slim Turkey Loaf

Ingredients:

1 medium Red Onion, minced
5 stalks +/- Celery, minced

Mix together:
1/2 slice of bread, toasted and minced
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence

2 lb. lean ground turkey


Break up ground turkey in a bowl. Add the onions & celery, mixing completely. Add the egg mixture. Blend thoroughly.

Form into a large patty (2 lb. makes two large patties) the same shape as your Lean Mean Grilling Machine (LMGM). Cut into thirds. Transfer to LMGM using your large knife as a spatula.

Cook 5 to 6 minutes.


I'm more in the mood to cook in the morning, so I mince and mix then. Later, I form the patties and have the Turkey "Loaf" hot for dinner. The rest makes fabulously yummy meatloaf sandwiches and salads for days on end.
