Check out these inspired takes on shrimp, ground turkey, chicken, and Italian sausage. Each dinner is drop dead delicious and turns an ordinary weeknight meal into something really special. I always use ingredients that I know my family likes and change things up to keep things interesting. That means taking something as simple as ground turkey, something I know they will eat, and putting a special spin on it to expand their culinary horizons. I mean, how many dino-nuggets can one kid possibly eat? Okay, don’t answer that.
Ina Garten’s classic Shrimp Scampi is always a hit. It’s perfect for a nice weeknight dinner or even a special occasion like a birthday, New Year’s Eve or even a Super Bowl food. My Stuffed Peppers with Turkey is easy to make and a satisfying dinner. Bon Appetite has a Sausage with Beans & Greens Pasta that is sure to delight, and finally, a lovely chicken with Asian flavors.
Enjoy!
