turkey.

A huge pot of homemade turkey broth and a super quick and healthy turkey salad today, using just 2 hefty and cheap turkey drumsticks (3 bucks for both) from the supermarket + veggies and a couple other fridge & pantry ingredients.

This chicken stock recipe is a simple and easy go-to recipe, basically just toss everything together in a pot and simmer for several hours. I used turkey today instead of chicken - I’ve been eating a lot of grilled chicken lately, which my mom says is bad because of hormones or something…not convincing, but regardless, I love turkey too and haven’t had it in a long time.

Like chicken, skinless white turkey meat is very lean and low in fat, high in protein. After removing all the meat from the bones while making the stock, I snuck a few bites (so tender!) and then mixed up an extremely quick, flavorful, creamy but light (mayo-less!) turkey salad with the rest. So easy, just shred the meat with a fork, add a couple spoonfuls of non-fat plain Greek yogurt, some chopped green onions, a bit of salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and a dash of chili powder or Siracha if you like, and mix together. Chill in the fridge for a while to let the flavors really develop and meld. Yum! Great snack on crackers or bread, or just straight with a spoon :)
