Easy Chicken Wrapped Bacon
I only had chicken on hand for dinner tonight and went through a couple of potential recipes, then my mouth started watering as I thought of bacon wrapped chicken. I googled a recipe and found the following. It was an easy and quick recipe.
Worcestershire sauce
Chicken
Peppered bacon (I just had regular)
Salt and Pepper (which I decided not to use and see how it turned out- didn't need it)
Cover Chicken in Worcestershire then wrap the chicken with bacon. Put toothpicks in to hold bacon in place. Grill.
I didn't want to go grill outside so I put it in the oven and baked it @ 350 for 40 minutes, then Broiled it to make the bacon crispy. The insides were moist the outsides were dry. Any advice about grilling chicken in the oven?

Turkey Bone and Dumpling soup
My Favorite Thanksgiving tradition, in fact I almost look forward to this meal more than Thanksgiving!
Put Turkey Bones in large pot ( You can take off some of the skin, but other than that you can just throw the whole thing in!). Add some salt and pepper and some leftover dressing for flavoring. Fully cover Turkey in water and boil for several hours until meat is falling off bones. (We did it for over 6 hours, but I bet you can do it in 3-4 hours.)
Once the meat is falling off the bones, pull out big bones with tongs and then strain the rest of the meat keeping the broth for the soup (keep all and take out 1/4 cup-1/2 cup for dumplings). Once the meat is a little cooled sort through it getting all the bones out as much as possible. We sifted through it 3 times and still had some when we ate it, so just be a careful.
1. Put broth back in pot.
2. Make Dumplings (see recipe below) and drop them in pot in small balls (they don't have to be round, just drop in).
3. Cut up 2 cups of carrots and 2 cups of potatoes put into broth and boil.
4. While boiling put in dumplings it takes 10 minutes for them to set up.
5. Once dumplings are going, add 1 cup of chopped celery and any left over peas/corn from Thanksgiving dinner. ( I just added a can of corn. It kinda gets lost in the soup so you could add more if making it for a large group)
1 egg beaten
3 TBSP sugar
1/4 cup half and half cream
1/4 cup soup stalk
1/4 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
Mix above ingredients then add flour a little at a time, mix with fork, keep adding until your fingers don't stick to dough. (When doubling it I probably added 3-4 cups of flour when all was said and done).
This recipe FILLED my largest pot it could serve 12-15 people! I plan to freeze some of the leftovers for later. ( I haven't tried it before, but I am pretty sure it will work).

8. Add Turkey meat back in and heat through

Fruity-Nutty Oatmeal
I made this yummy oatmeal this past weekend for breakfast. It is delicious and really fills you up. I omitted the raisins simply because I don't like them.

1/4 cup dark or golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 tsp brown sugar
Bring water and 1 1/2 cups of the milk to a boil in large, heavy saucepan over high heat. Stir in oats. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 3 minutes, stirring often, until oats start to soften.
Stir in pear. Cover and simmer about 3 minutes more or until it is tender but still a bit crsip. Stir in cranberries and raisins. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 1 minute to soften.
Divide evenly among 4 warm bowls. Sprinkle each with 2 Tbsp. walnuts and 1/2 tsp brown sugar. Top each bowl with 1/4 cup of the remaining milk.

Melanie's carribean chicken salad
Have you ever tried the carribean chicken salad at Rumbi Grill? One of my favorites. I was craving it today so I thought I'd try my hand at something close to it. I skipped the rice and added a few different ingredients. It was sooooo good. I think I could have eaten the whole bowl. Really. I could have.
About 3 bunches of romaine lettuce, rinsed and chopped
3 cooked chicken breasts, cooled and diced
1 medium red onion, diced
1 can sweet corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained well
1 large can pineapple tidbits, drained
2 small cans or 1 large can mandarin oranges, drained
3/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
2 handfuls of tortilla chips, crushed
Ken's honey mustard dressing
Mix all together in a large bowl and serve with honey mustard dressing.

Turkey Burgers with Mustard Sauce
Oh turkey burgers! I love them! I think I've already posted another one of my favorite turkey burger recipes but this one is fabulous too. You really should try them both. Recipe comes from BHG.
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns (I use toasted hamburger buns)
1 lb. ground raw turkey
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 Tbsp. honey mustard
1/4 tsp each salt and black pepper
1 Tbsp. olive or cooking oil
1/3 cup light may
1 medium tomato
1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
1 cup bread crumbs
In large bowl combine turkey, egg, bread crumbs, 1 Tbsp. of honey mustard, and the salt and pepper. Shape turkey mixture into four patties.
In an extra-large nonstick skillet cook turkey patties in hot oil over medium heat for 12 minutes, turning once, or until no longer pink.
For mustard sauce, in small bowl combine mayo and remaining 2 Tbsp. honey mustard. Layer buns, burgers, tomato, avocado, sauce.
*I usually make about 6 burgers out of this recipe. Last night I just made the turkey burgers and ate them without buns. I skipped the rest of this recipe and topped the burgers with the coleslaw recipe from this recipe. So delicious and you skip out on those all those bun calories.
