01/08 Dinner : Turkey Mignons


~Turkey Minons
~Roasted Asparagus
~Blanched Snow Peas
~Wheat Cous Cous
~Diakon Soy Dressing

Place asparagus on a cookie sheet. Add pepper and drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil and toss. Place rack directly on top. Place the Turkey medallions wrapped with thick sliced bacon on the rack and broil, 15-18 minutes, turning once. The juice and grease will drip down into the asparagus while broiling, giving the aspargus a smokey/salty flavor.

I have been looking for other alternatives to rice (carbs). I found Cous Cous to be a quick and easy alternative. Bring 1/2 cup of water, dash of soy (optional), 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional), pinch of Thyme (optional) to a boil. Off heat, add 1/2 Cous Cous, mix well, cover and let stand for 10 minutes.

Once plated, pour a little of the Diakon Soy Dressing over the Turkey Mignons.

hah. maybe we both got ripped off and were complaining about it, which is why there's a rob/meatball connection.
