day 3

breakfast

Sweet Potato-Turkey Hash

Ingredients
·         2 medium potato(es), sweet, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
·         1 medium apple(s), cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
·         1/2 cup(s) sour cream, reduced-fat
·         1 teaspoon lemon juice
·         1 tablespoon oil, canola
·         1 medium onion(s), chopped
·         3 cup(s) turkey, cooked, skinless, diced, or chicken
·         1 tablespoon thyme, fresh, chopped, or 1 tsp dried
·         1/2 teaspoon salt
·         freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Add apple and cook until everything is just tender, but not mushy, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Drain.
Transfer 1 cup of the mixture to a large bowl; mash. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice. Add the remaining unmashed mixture and stir gently to mix. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken), thyme, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Add the reserved sweet potato mixture to the pan; stir to mix. Press on the hash with a wide metal spatula; cook until the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Cut the hash into several rough sections; flip and cook until the undersides are browned, about 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately

Scrambled Egg Whites

Ingredients
·         3 large egg(s), whites
·         1 teaspoon milk
·         1 dash(es) salt
Preparation
Heat a medium non-stick frying pan to a setting just above medium.
In a medium metal or glass mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with the milk and salt. Beat vigorously for 2 minutes.
Coat the frying pan with cooking spray and add the egg mixture. Do not stir immediately. Wait until the first hint of setting begins. Using a spatula or a flat wooden spoon, push eggs toward center while tilting skillet to distribute runny parts. Continue this motion as the eggs continue to set. Break apart large pieces as they form with your spoon or spatula. When there are no longer runny parts of the egg flip over all the eggs and allow the eggs to cook 15 to 25 seconds longer. Serve warm.
