I like to prepare it like you would for chili or spaghetti, then mix in half a bag of frozen peas and frozen diced carrots, and a couple tablespoons of your favorite Chinese or Japanese sauce. I've tried the garlic sauce and hoisin sauces and both were really good. I plan to experiment with something different next time I make it, maybe a little spicier.

Teriyaki Turkey Burgers

4 turkey burgers ( you could make your own, but I'm lazy).

1 tsp. sesame oil

4 pineapple slices

1 tbs. pineapple juice from the slices .

1 Tbs no msg, low sodium teriyaki sauce/glaze

I put the oil in my electric fryer and distributed it with a pastry brush. Fried the burgers 7 minutes on each side.

Mix the juice and teriyaki sauce. For the second side of the burger, I brushed the burger with the teriyaki/pineapple sauce mixture.

Brushed the pineapple slices with the mixture and broiled for 2 minutes.

Add pineapples to the burgers.

Makes 4, but I only ate 1/2 ( I am pre-op)

My finicky family loved them.

What type of oats? I have been trying to find something for my cod fish cakes besides bread crumbs.

I brown it with chopped up red, green and yellow bell peppers, a few fresh garlic cloves and chopped onions. I salt and pepper it too. Then I add about a half cup of brown rice and Water and let it cook until the rice is done. yum... You can add as much rice as you want, but i cut it down so I would get more protien in the meal and not carbs.

I used old-fashioned slow cooking oatmeal. I did grind it in my food processor since I didn't want them to be in big flakes in my baby meatballs.

Couple easy ones. I grill pretty much everything so most of my methods are based around that...

Famous Dave's Steak and Burger seasoning. Grill it. cheese it. Eat it!

Weber Gourmet Burger seasoning. Grill, cheese, eat.

Salt, pepper, italian seasoning, crushed red pepper. Top as you like. Provolone works very very well for this.

Taco seasoning, jalepenos, mexican cheese. Mix, patty out, and grill. Bed of refried Beans and more cheese!

Soy sauce, as much hot stuff as you can stand, garlic, onion, smidge of brown sugar (think chinese type). Great alone or a little brown rice.

Hot mustard, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.... Like a hot bratwurst type of taste.

Salt, pepper, onions, small bit of bread crumbs, jalapenos, few ozs beer. Mix til you can patty as you may have to play with the crumbs and beer. Not sure how I came up with that one but it came out pretty good lol!

I have more haha!

LOL!

Love the grill. I have been known to grill with snow flying so lots of time there. I don't care for fried food too much anyway with the exception of the occasional fried chicken or fried potatoes (very very rare).

Love the grilling taste, don't have to heat up the house, less mess, and it's better for you so it's really a win win....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
