Grilled Chicken

Since vinegars and tomatoes are now on my forbidden list, my favorite grilled dishes are now off limits.  Fortunately, Annie's Lemon and Chive Salad Dressing is on my edible list and I like it!

Ingredients
serves 1

1 chicken breast (I just separate mine from my family's food)
1T Annie's Lemon and Chive Dressing
1T olive oil
  1. In a glass dish or ziplock baggie, mix dressing and oil well.
  2. Add chicken and coat thoroughly.
  3. Let sit for 10 mins or put in fridge until ready to grill.
  4. Grill ~5 mins per side.  Adjust cooking time to grill temp and chicken thickness.
Serve with sides or on top of salad.  Tastes great cold the next day.

Grilled Asparagus

This is an excellent side dish to the turkey burgers. All you need is asparagus and Newman's Own Dressing or Marinade. I've used a variety of these all with excellent results. I think my favorites are Roasted Parmesan and Garlic and Balsamic Vinegar which comes in organic.

The directions are simple. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drench in dressing. Grill over low or no heat until slightly charred. Beware which way you place them on the grill they are easy to loose between the grate. Tongs are best for handling them without too many getting dropped.

Turkey Burgers

This is one of my couple's dinners. I do the prep work and husband runs the grill. These are easy to make and really tasty. For buns I like Glutino's English Muffins, Udi's Wheat Bread or Against the Grain Plain Rolls.

Use roughly a quarter pound of meat per person. If you mix in some thigh meat there is a bit more fat in the burgers and therefore a bit more juicy. However, they taste fine with all white meat.

As always try to find organic ingredients or at least all natural. The fewer chemicals in the food the better. I have also found these taste better if the meat has never been frozen. I find that freezing meat dries it out and makes it tougher once cooked.

Ingredients:
1/4lb per person ground turkey
Annie's Original BBQ sauce
cheddar or Swiss cheese slices 1 per burger
regular of gf buns

Dump about 1T of sauce per burger out on a plate. Slather on hands. Pick up the meat for the burger and start forming into a patty. Make it evenly thick with no gaps at the edges. Slather the outside with sauce. Grill until the center is no longer pink about 7 minutes per side. The juices will run clear when fully cooked. Add cheese slice. While burgers are cooking toast buns particularly if GF. Serve on buns with favorite organic condiments.
