Uncle Brett's Turkey Marinade

I don't recall exactly when I jumped on the marinating bandwagon, but I almost never grill meat cuts of meat without marinating it first.  You just can't beat the flavor!  This particular recipe was given to me by my Uncle Brett.  His family likes it so much they have this in the place of a Thanksgiving Turkey!  This marinade is great for turkey breasts, but can also be used on chicken with great results.









Uncle Brett's Turkey Marinade


2 cups sprite
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup corn oil
1/4 tsp horseradish (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3-4 turkey breasts

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl.  Pound turkey breasts to an even width (about 1/2 inch), cut into pieces if desired, and place in the marinade.  Cover and let it soak overnight.  Grill until cooked through, and internal temperature has reached at least 165 degrees F.

* I grilled these on my Griddler Gourmet, but preheating the unit to High and cooking in the closed position for about 3 minutes.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
