Moroccan Turkey Stew

/in /by

This stew is hearty, warming, packed full of nutrients, and brimming with flavors that will transport you directly to Morocco.

Tip: take the spices (including the ginger) aside and saute them in a near dry skillet on a low heat for a few minutes. This helps release their rich flavors. Then add your onions, celery, etc and saute them all together. This dish can also be left to cook in a slow cooker rather than simmering on the stove.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 16-20 oz turkey breast
  • 1 1/2 C. onions, diced

  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. currants – washed

MT Powershake aka Protein Smoothie

/in /by

Notes:

  • Recipe serves 3 x 8 oz each, or 4 x 6 oz (at MT we serve women 4oz, men 6oz – for weightloss)
  • Hemp protein powder, we use the pure stuff here at MT – no additives, just hemp (1 tbsp per serving).
  • Greens powder, we use a greens combination (with spirulina, sprouted barley, kamut, etc) that can be purchased in your health food store.
  • The frozen fruit changes each morning (mango, raspberry, strawberries, blue berries).
  • Agave or maple syrup are optional, as it might be sweet enough with the banana and frozen fruit. Simple and satisfying.
