Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans





To start my day off I had a Jimmy Dean Simple Scramble Cup - Crumbled Turkey Sausage, Egg
White, Cheddar Cheese. Another cold day out there, 13 this morning and a high of 25 degrees. After Breakfast I went to McDonald's to pick up Breakfast for Mom. I was sort of slow today my Sinuses are really bothering me today, very bad headaches. Lot of rest and that was about it. I have to fast tonight until I go to the Family Doctor in the morning for my Blood Sugar, Cholesterol, etc. For Dinner tonight I prepared Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans.




We love our Turkey Tacos, great Comfort food for us! When making Turkey Tacos I always use Jennie -O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast! Love all the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. But Jennie -O Products are difficult to find in this area. Meijer is the only place that now carries it, and they have an okay selection of it. So I started by frying the Ground Turkey till it was no longer pink in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoning it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, Cilantro Flakes. As the Turkey was finishing cooking I added, 1 can OF Bush’s Chili Beans – Black Beans, 1 package of Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning and 2/3 cup Water, continued to cook and stir for an additional 6 minutes. Jennie -O, Bush’s Beans, and Old El Paso together make one fine Taco!



For the rest of my toppings I used; Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Olives, Ortega Smoky Chipotle Taco Sauce, Sliced Jalapenos, and Shredded Lettuce. For my Taco Shells I used the Old El Paso Stand N’ Stuff Taco Shells (Whole Grain Corn). Add the Jennie – O Turkey and you got you some mouth watering and delicious Tacos! Love these Taco Nights. I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for a side for Mom. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

One of America's Favorites - Club Sandwich

Club sandwich

A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a sandwich of bread (occasionally toasted), sliced cooked poultry, or fried bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. It is often cut into quarters or halves and held together by cocktail sticks. Modern versions frequently have two layers which are separated by an additional slice of bread.





The club sandwich may have originated at the Union Club of New York City. The earliest known reference to the sandwich, an article that appeared in The Evening World on November 18, 1889, is also an early recipe; "Have you tried a Union Club sandwich yet? Two toasted pieces of Graham bread, with a layer of turkey or chicken and ham between them, served warm."Several other early references also credit the chef of the Union Club with creating the sandwich.

Other sources, however, find the origin of the club sandwich to be up for debate. Another theory is that the club sandwich was invented in an exclusive Saratoga Springs, New York, gambling club in the late 19th century.

The sandwich is known to have appeared on U.S. restaurant menus as far back as 1899. The earliest reference to the sandwich in published fiction is from Conversations of a Chorus Girl, a 1903 book by Ray Cardell. Historically, club sandwiches featured slices of chicken, but with time, turkey has become increasingly common.


As with a BLT, toasted white bread is standard, along with iceberg lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes. The sandwich is traditionally dressed with mayonnaise. Variations, however, on the traditional club sandwich abound. Some vary the protein, for example, a "breakfast club" that includes eggs or a

Club sandwich with tater tots

"roast beef club." Others include ham (instead of, or in addition to bacon) and/or cheese slices. Vegetarian club sandwiches often include hummus, avocado or spinach, as well as substitute the real bacon with a vegetarian alternative. Mustard and sometimes honey mustard are common condiments. Upscale variations include, for example, the oyster club, the salmon club, and Dungeness crab melt.

The sandwich is commonly served with an accompaniment of either coleslaw, or potato salad, and often garnished with a pickle. The coleslaw or potato salad is often reduced to a "garnish" portion, when the primary accompaniment is an order of french fries or potato chips. Due to high fat and carb content from the bread, bacon and dressing, club sandwiches have sometimes been criticized as unhealthy. In 2000, Burger King came under fire for its chicken club, which contained 700 calories, 44 grams of fat (nine of them saturated), and 1,300 milligrams of sodium, as well as the trans fat from the fryer shortening.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Storing Lettuce and Celery..........


Lettuce and celery will keep longer if stored in the refrigerator in paper bags instead of cellophane. Don't remove the outside leaves until ready to use.

Today’s Menu: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

To start my morning off I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and topped it with Smucker's Sugarless Blackberry Jam. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mostly sunny
and 80 degrees outside! Beautiful day outside! After Breakfast I headed to Meijer for a few sale items and went to their Garden Center also. On the way back I stopped at McDonald’s to pick up Breakfast for Mom.  Well we got Dad into his new home. It is so much nicer, it's not even fair to compare the two! We are so happy that they had a place open for him. So for Dinner tonight, It’s a Taco Night! I prepared Turkey Tacos and a side of Refried Beans.

We all love Turkey Tacos, great Comfort food for us! When making Turkey Tacos I use Jennie -O

Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast! Love all the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. I started by frying the Ground Turkey till it was no longer pink in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoning it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, Cilantro Flakes. As the Turkey was finishing cooking I added, 1 can OF Bush’s Chili Beans – Black Beans, 1 package of Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning and 2/3 cup Water, continued to cook and stir for an additional 6 minutes. Jennie -O and Old El Paso together make one fine Taco!



For toppings I used; Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green

Olives, Ortega Smoky Chipotle Taco Sauce, Sliced Jalapenos, and Shredded Lettuce. For my Taco Shells I used the Old El Paso Stand N’ Stuff Taco Shells (Whole Grain Corn). Add the Jennie – O Turkey and you got you some mouth watering and delicious Tacos! Love these Taco Nights. I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for a side for Mom and Dad. Enough Leftovers to get a couple of Lunches out of it. We made a big plate of it for Dad and took it it to the Center for him for his Dinner. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.

Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans






To start my morning off I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and topped it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Partly Cloudy and 70
degrees outside today. After Breakfast i headed up to the local Kroger for a few things for me and Mom. On the way back I stopped at McDonald's to pick up Breakfast for Mom and stopped and got gas. Later on I did some light clean up of the house and then went outside to work on getting our shed in shape. I've been clearing it out of old tools, boxes, fishing gear, and kitchen items. Things that haven't been used in 10 years or more. So for Dinner tonight, It’s a Taco Night! I prepared Turkey Tacos and a side of Refried Beans.

Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans




To start my morning off I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Wow, we have had so much rain ,

and more coming! Today we had a high of 60 and dry in the morning but rain moving in for the evening. Anyway after Breakfast I went grocery shopping at Meijer. It's getting tougher and tougher to keep your grocery bill down, stuff just keeps going up! Really have to do some smart shopping and coupons. On the way back in I stopped and picked up Breakfast for Mom at McDonald's. Dad seems to be adjusting to his new home at the assisted living center. Still wish he was home with us. But as they say "Life goes on", and we will but its tough. For Dinner tonight, It's a Taco Night! I prepared Turkey Tacos and  a side of Refried Beans.
