Simple, Healthful Poultry Recipes

January 22, 2014 11:44 am

Poultry is one of the healthiest meats you can cook with, and it’s also incredibly versatile. From juicy chicken to hearty turkey, these delicious and nutritious recipes will help mix up the ways you prepare poultry.

Chicken Picadillo
Using just one pot and only 162 calories, this incredibly flavorful chicken dish is perfect for busy weeknights. Bell peppers add extra vitamins and a serving of vegetables, while tomato sauce, cumin and lemon juice gives this meal a flavor that really stands out.

Asian-Style Chicken Wraps
Using lettuce as a wrap eliminates extra carbohydrates, and the spicy and refreshing sauce adds a healthy kick to the tender chicken strips inside.

Oven-Crusted Chicken Breast
The traditional dinner staple gets a healthy makeover in this low-calorie dish. Substituting the usual fatty breading for egg whites and rolled oats offers the same crispy texture without the added fat.

Cornbread-Crusted Turkey
Turkey isn’t just for Thanksgiving dinner, and this simple yet delicious dish proves how versatile turkey can be. The addition of a cornbread coating and Dijon flavor makes this poultry meal both hearty and healthy.

Any time is tea-time at the Steeping Room. Located in a little shopping center on N. Lamar Boulevard, the Steeping Room is dedicated to not just serving tea, but the art of brewing and leisurely enjoying the drink. Come in and you will immediately like the cozy ambiance, with high ceilings that keep the noise low and lots of window seating. You might have had tea, but there are so many different teas to choose from, don’t be afraid to ask your server for suggestions. In the morning, try your tea with a freshly baked scone, or go for one of the breakfast entrees. The lunch and dinner menus are also good, with many vegan and gluten-free options — try the breakfast sandwich or the soup and tea sandwich combo.
