Ingredients
Vegetable cooking spray, as needed
1 can refrigerated golden corn biscuits
3/4 lb ground turkey
1 small onion - (4 oz), chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 poblano or jalapeño chile pepper -, seeded, minced
1 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp crushed dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt, (optional)
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 can low-sodium diced tomatoes - (15 oz), with puree
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar
2 large pitted black olives, thinly sliced
2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 large plum tomato - (3 oz), seeded, diced
1 small white onion - (4 oz), diced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-inch glass pie plate
with cooking spray. Open the biscuits can and place 3 uncooked biscuits in
the bottom of the pie plate. Evenly space the remaining 5 biscuits along
the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Using your fingers press the dough
together to form a crust that completely covers the bottom and up the sides
of the pie plate to form a rim.
Crumble the ground turkey into a large nonstick skillet and place over
medium heat. Cook, stirring, until turkey is browned, about 5 minutes.
Drain off any excess fat. Add onion, garlic, and chile pepper; continue to
cook until onion is limp, about 4 minutes. Stir in herbs, spices, salt
(if using), and pepper. Add tomatoes with their juice and continue to cook
for 1 minute. Stir in shredded cheese and sliced olives.
Transfer mixture to the prepared pie plate and bake for 20 to 25 minutes,
until biscuit dough is cooked through and richly browned and the filling is
set. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting
into wedges.
Place the lettuce in a serving bowl and combine the tomato and onion in
another. Pass both bowls separately to serve alongside the taco pie.

Flavonoid rich foods (inlcudes dark chocolate, apples, garden pea & dill) The large family of compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these types of food are thought by experts to have properties in helping to prevent cancer. Experts studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they may also have numerous benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, anti-candida and antiplatelet activities.. Most also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet system. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, chives and spring onions) The onion and garlic family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not enough, hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulphides are also believed to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so you should add them to your weight loss program. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, however many people claim that they really seem to lose body weight by following the zone diet. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a balanced state that is a lot more healthful than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears believes that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most interesting process of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
