Pumpkin Pasta with “Sausage” and Sage

Let’s talk about sausage and best friends. I love both of these things, however when best friends decide to be vegetarian, this lovely relationship becomes problematic. Until I discovered this! Now, I have tried vegetarian fake meat products before and have literally gagged while trying to prepare them. Gimme lean tastes and cooks like real sausage, and is virtually fat-free and loaded with protein. I can’t wait to try it in other recipes that call for sausage. A sausage and vegetarian lover’s new best friend.

Turkey Meatloaf Panini

Remember when I said this was the best turkey burger I’ve ever made? Well, while this is not not quite a burger, it’s my new favorite thing between two slices of bread, for sure. Eat this!

Pasta with Salami, Ricotta, and Broccoli Rabe

This is one of my go-tos, especially in the summer. It’s comforting and fast to put together. I usually try to find sliced chorizo for this – but salami works just as well and is easier to find most times.

Gruyere Turkey Burgers with Sage Mayo and Apple Hash

This might be the very best turkey burger I’ve ever made. Legit.

Cheesy Baked Rice

If you have a carby, cheesy craving but still want some veg, this just might be your dish. Perfect use up for leftovers, too.
