turkey

I feel a little ridiculous saying that this is a recipe.

Three ingredients + One Crockpot. It’s THAT easy. SERIOUSLY.

But it was WAY too clever not to share. It has two ingredients… and is cooked in the crockpot. I’ve made two batches to date, and I plan on making more.

It started when I saw this at the grocery store. I don’t usually buy the turkey tenderloins, but I had a coupon for it so why not? So glad I did…

I never make the tenderloin because I’m not always sure what to do with it. But I have quickly realized that I am overcomplicating things.

Without further ado, let me share with you the EASIEST turkey BBQ recipe you’ll ever make, and one you’ll keep coming back to. I’ve made it twice and I have more tenderloin for another batch in the freezer!

Smoky Pulled Turkey Wraps

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 Jennie-O Applewood Smoked Turkey Tenderloin

1/2 onion

Pam cooking spray

Flatout Light Flatbread Wrap

Fresh Spinach

Tomatoes

1 wedge Laughing Cow French Onion Flavor (or flavor of your choice)

BBQ Sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slice your onion.

2. Prepare your Crockpot by spraying it with Pam cooking spray. (This makes it MUCH easier to clean in the end.) Add onions to the bottom of the pot, and add one of the two tenderloins in your Jennie O package.

3. Place the lid on the Crockpot and fire it up on low for 6-8 hours, until turkey tenderloin falls apart and onions are caramelized and delish! Once time has expired, stir the meat and watch it fall apart, or use my fun blender method to shred your turkey.

4. Spread your wedge of Laughing Cow on the flatbread. Add the spinach and tomato as well.

5. Add about 1/4-1/2 cup of shredded turkey to the flatbread, and top with BBQ sauce. Roll it up, and it will look gorgeous like this!

As you can imagine, making the pulled turkey is just one of many ideas… you could add the turkey to salad, or enjoy it inside a sandwich thin topped with my famous Mustard BBQ Sauce and with a side of my WW Cole Slaw.

AND… I even did a spin on the Baked Turkey Tacos I made last week. How about Smoky Pulled Turkey Tacos? Yes Please!

Endless possibilities… in the end the smoky BBQ flavor of the turkey will have you coming back to this recipe time and time again!

NTTC's Best Dishes of 2012

Last month, I was contacted by Laughing Cow Cheese stating that they wanted to send me some products to experiment and create recipes with…

Being a HUGE fan of Laughing Cow Cheese, I instantly said yes and eagerly awaited the arrival of my “mystery box” of cheese! When it arrived, I couldn’t wait to break into it and see what flavor I would be working with.

They sent me French Onion flavor, which is one I haven’t cooked with as much as the others. I was excited to jump in and create a few fun recipes with this new flavor, the first of which I’ll share with you today. Laughing Cow Cheese wedges weigh in at just 35-calories per wedge, which makes it completely guilt-free!

I’ve wanted to experiment with caramelized onions for some time and felt like this recipe would be the first way to try out my first batch. And, without further ado, please find my first recipe using the French Onion Laughing Cow cheese. I hope you love it as much as I do!

French Onion Cheese-Stuffed Turkey Burgers

INGREDIENTS

1 onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup fat free beef broth

4 oz. lean ground turkey

1 wedge Laughing Cow Cheese French Onion flavor

cooking spray

salt

pepper

spinach leaves

80 calorie bun

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slice your onions thinly.

2. Prepare a pan with cooking spray and add your onions at medium heat. Generously salt the onions immediately, as the salt will help them to sweat and caramelize.

3. Cook the onions until they start to brown, stirring frequently. If they start to stick to the pan, add the beef broth. Even if they don’t start to stick, add the beef broth. It will cook off quickly.

4. Once onions are beautifully caramelized, remove from the heat and set aside.

5. Place ground turkey in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Take half of the turkey and form it into a burger.

6. Slice the Laughing Cow cheese horizontally, and smash half of a wedge into the center of the burger you just made.

7. Add about 1 ½ Tbsp. caramelized onions on top of the cheese. Save the remaining onions to add to dishes you make later this week.

8. Take the remaining raw turkey and cover the cheese/onion mixture, sealing the burger on the edges.

9. Cook your burger on a grill pan, or on a George Foreman grill, seasoning with salt and pepper on both sides prior to cooking. Cook thoroughly until done all the way through.

10. While the burger is cooking, prepare your bun. Spread the remaining wedge of Laughing cow on the bun and add spinach leaves. Note: I would have added tomato slices, if I had them…

11. Remove burger from the stove when done, assemble your burger, and get ready to be amazed.

I paired my burger with oven baked fries and Heinz Balsamic Ketchup. REALLY delicious!
