Wednesdays and Thursdays are super busy around here
(along with Tuesdays, Fridays, the weekend...) and the creative juices have been flowing on how to get a healthy, substantial meal into my children ON OUR WAY to gymnastics. We are basically gone from 5 pm until 7 pm and it's tricky to feed these hungry munchkins during this dinner hour.
For those of you familiar with
THESE delicious recipes, I threw together something simple and healthy that my little ones can eat on the go.
Scrumptious Patties (it's hard to make anything with "patties" sound good, but these are)1 lb ground turkey breast
1/2 c. pureed sweet potato divided
1 egg or egg white
ground fresh pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. feta cheese
( I used basil and sundried tomato. Parmesan can also be used)1 c. bread crumbs
(or cracker crumbs) divided
Combine turkey, 1/4c. sweet potato, egg, pepper, salt, cheese and 1/3 c. bread crumbs in a large bowl. I like to use my freshly washed hands, it's great for mixing and kinda fun, in a gross sorta way. Form into small balls. Roll in remaining sweet potato (just a thin layer) and roll into remaining bread crumbs. flatten into a little patty. Cook in heated skillet, coated with just a bit of olive oil, for about 2 minutes each side.
Easy on the go!
( I don't know how many it makes because they get eaten too fast...let's just say it's enough to feed my hungry family of 6...with a side dish or two).
