What to do with Turkey Bites

Every seen these things called “turkey bites”?  The ones I have seen are made by Pillers and they are so yummy and there are a bunch of things you can do with them.  And the best thing is they are low in calories and low in fat so you can have a few without feeling guilty.  If you are on Weight Watchers points plan they are only 1 point each.  They are like a pepperoni stick but with turkey.

So what do you do with them (besides munching down on one for a quick protien fix of course)?  Try these ideas:

  • Cut them up into pieces and put them in scrambled eggs.  Add a little salsa and you have a Mexican breakfast.  Put it all in a taco or burrito with some tomatoes and low fat cheese and you have a yummy and healthy breakfast on the run.
  • Add them to a salad to give it some flavor and protein.
  • Add them to soups (love it with tomato soup).
  • Cut pieces into steamed veggies (nice with peas or carrots).
  • Put them on nachos as a substitute for ground beef.
  • Add to spaghetti bolognese instead of meat balls or ground beef.
  • Put them with water chestnuts, green and red pepper on toothpicks for mini-skewers as an hor d’ourve.

There’s lots more.  What would you do with them?  Leave me a comment and let me know!
