Curry Turkey Bowl

I am big on quick dinners. When my kids get home from school it's homework, dinner then 6pm is getting ready for bed. I feel like there is no time for them to play.I made a quick healthy recipe of curry turkey the other night.

 I posted a picture of my kids plate on instagram a couple days ago you may have seen.My rice cooker is a life saver. I put white rice and quinoa together in the cooker and one button and it's done. The turkey I sauteed with a couple gloves of garlic and some oil with a small spoonful of curry. I add a little soy sauce also. Soy sauce is like salt with a different flavor. I add it on my family's plate to their tastings. I served it with a frozen stir fry mix from Costco that can just be heated up. The turkey takes 10 minutes to make. Just make sure you put the rice cooker on about 30 minutes before.

To healthy eating!

The kids plate. Rice balls are great for no mess. Taking the time to clean rice off the floor, the chairs and their clothes is so tedious! 

I like curry from the Oriental stores. It has stronger flavor, taste better.

Veggie Patties

Some really good veggie patties I made.I make them and freeze them so I can have them whenever I want. They are much better then the pre bought and a lot less expensive. They are so easy especially when you have a rice cooker which I recommend getting. I cook all my grains in my rice cooker, quinoa , rice, etc and I always just press the white rice button. Everything has always come out really good.

For my patties I used a mixture of sweet brown rice, red beans, black beans, corn, mung beans, millet, green peas and black sweet rice. If you want you can use quinoa and black beans to make it easy. If you have anything eles on hand, throw it in there.

Ingredients:
2 cups mixed grains/beans. 

1/3 fresh herbs ( I used basil and parsley)

3 minced garlic cloves

Salt and pepper

1 cup of  shredded cheese ( I didn't use any but this will help it stick together)
1/2 chopped bell pepper
1/2 small red onion

Directions:
Cook grains/beans in rice cooker. I let them sit an hour first then cook them. 1:2 parts water. When they are finished add all ingredients and mix well. Add salt and pepper. Form patties. I made about 8 depending on the size you want.

I used a sandwhich thin for my sandwhich. For garnish I used avocado, romaine lettuce, red bell pepper, onions and a roasted red pepper hummus on the bread. It was very good!
