Jennie – O OVEN READY™ Boneless Turkey Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes, Shellie Beans, and Dinner Rolls

Today’s Menu: Jennie – O OVEN READY™ Boneless Turkey Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes, Shellie Beans, and Dinner Rolls

 

For Breakfast I prepared a bag of Simply Potatoes Seasoned Diced Potatoes, we love these! I also fried a package of Private Selection Double Smoked Bacon along with a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. A delicious start of the day! I covered all my Tomato and Pepper Plants in case it went to freezing, and it did. I haven’t planted them yet. They are still in the Plant Cups and I have them on a wooden cart. I’ll have to move the cart into the shed as temperatures are going below freezing for the next 2 mornings. In fact it’s going to be snowing overnight and Saturday Morning! Come on Springtime! Hopeful Tuesday I can plant them with the temperatures moving to the 60’s and 70’s. We had another of the Thanksgiving style Dinner tonight! I prepared a Jennie – O OVEN READY™ Boneless Turkey Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes, Shellie Beans, and Dinner Rolls.

 

For the Turkey I used the Jennie – O Oven Ready Skinless Boneless Turkey Breast. Such an easy way to have a moist and fantastic tasting Turkey, along with little to clean-up! Comes in a Jennie O Turkey Breast Oven Ready Bag, that you bake at 375 degrees for about 2 to 3 hour until it reads 165 degrees. The Turkey comes out moist, juicy and delicious, with an excellent flavor! So cooking usually for just myself and Mom, it’s just the right size (2-3 lbs.). Enough leftovers for Dinner tomorrow. I also prepared a Blackberry Glaze, which works great on Turkey or Pork! To make the Blackberry Glaze I’ll need Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam, Red Wine Vinegar, Splenda Sugar, and Ground Cinnamon. I left the recipe for this at the end of the post.

 

For a side I prepared a package of Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes. Just microwave for 6 total minutes and serve, just as good as homemade, if not better. I could make a meal out of just Mashed Potatoes.

 

For a 2nd side I prepared a can of Libby’s Shellie Beans. I had picked up a couple of cans at Meijer. I opened 1 can and added them to a small sauce pan that I sprayed with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray. I brought the beans to a rolling boil and reduced the heat to low until heated through. These are so good, it’s been a while since I’ve had any. Shellie Beans are Green Beans with added Pinto Beans. I also heated up some of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Dinner Rolls. These are great for those of us with Diabetes 2, or for anyone who loves good rolls. The Rolls are only 35 calories and 1 carb per roll! That’s right 1 net Carb per roll! So a big thank you to Aunt Millie’s for these! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Cherry Jello.

Baked Ham/Swiss and Turkey /Cheddar Sliders w/ Thanksgiving Leftovers

Today’s Menu: Baked Ham/Swiss and Turkey /Cheddar Sliders w/ Thanksgiving Leftovers

 

 

For Breakfast this morning I heated up the leftover Diced Potatoes and Diced Ham that I had prepared yesterday. Not a bad day out today, 54 degrees and mostly cloudy. After Lunch I took Mom’s car up to have it washed and then I cleaned all of the inside windows and vacuumed it out for her. Later on I entered a Scrabble Tournament online. I love Scrabble! For Dinner tonight I used the Leftovers from Thanksgiving. I prepared Baked Ham/Swiss and Turkey /Cheddar Sliders w/ Thanksgiving Side Leftovers.

 

 

 

 

For Dinner its Baked Ham and Swiss Sliders along with Turkey and Vermont Cheddar Sliders. To make them I’ll need; King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (Cut in half), leftover Ham, leftover Turkey Breast, Sargento Swiss Cheese, Boar’s Head Vermont Yellow Cheddar, Blue Bonnet Light Butter – 4 Tbsp (original recipe called for 8), 2 tsp. Dried Onion Powder, 1 1/2 tsp. Worchestershire Sauce, 1 1/2 tsp. Ken’s Light Poppyseed Dressing, and 1/2 tsp. French’s Yellow Mustard.

 

 

 

 

Next I made my Bun Topping Sauce. I grabbed a medium size bowl to mix my ingredients in. I then mixed the Butter, Onion Powder, Worchestershire Sauce, Ken’s Light Poppyseed Dressing, and French’s Yellow Mustard together. Stirred until well mixed and sit it aside until ready to use it.

 

 

 

 

 

Then to prepare the Sliders; preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then I got an 11 x 14 baking pan that I lined with foil and sprayed with Pam Non-Stick Cooking Spray. I placed the bottom half of the Slider Buns in the bottom of the baking pan. Next I placed the Sweet Sliced Ham and Sliced Turkey Breast on top of each Bun. You can put as much of the Ham or Turkey you want on each. I then placed a 1/2 a slice of the Swiss on the Ham and Cheddar cheese on top of the Turkey. Then added the the top 1/2 of each bun to each Slider. Then topped all the Sliders with Topping Sauce Mixture. Covered the baking pan with foil and baked at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Removed the foil and baked an additional 15 minutes to allow the rolls to crisp. Remove from oven to cool and serve.

 

 

 

These Baked Ham Sliders are incredible! The Ham, Turkey, Cheese, and Buns are all great but the Topping Sauce makes the Dish. The Sauce gives it such great flavor, love these Sliders! Plus a great way to use those Thanksgiving Leftovers!

 

 

 

 

 

Then I also heated the leftover Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. Those Canned Green Beans are so delicious! We had canned these during Summer and broke out the first jar for Thanksgiving, so good! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Cold Cut Trio Baked Mini Sub w/ Baked Fries

 

Waffles2

 

Made another thing I haven’t had for Breakfast in quite a while, Waffles. I used the leftover batter from the Pancakes from yesterday, got my Waffle Griddle out and made Waffles. Then along with the Waffle I had some Jimmy Dean Applewood Smoked Chicken Sausage. If you’ve never given these a try you need to, delicious! For dinner tonight, a Cold Cut Baked Mini Sub w/ Baked Fries

 

 

 

Baked Cold Cut Trio Mini Sub 008

I used Kroger Private Selection Smoked Off the Bone Sliced Ham, Boar’s Head Honey Smoked Turkey Breast, and Kahn’s Deluxe Bologna for my Baked Mini Sub. I had picked the Turkey up while at Jungle Jim’s Market yesterday. Then I used a Meijer Wheat Mini Sub Bun. Layered the Meats on the Bun and topped it with some Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil and Sweet Hot Stone Ground Mustard and a thin slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. I brushed some Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the top bun, which makes it brown up better. I baked it in a shallow baking pan at 400 degrees until the Cheese started to melt and the Meats were heated. I love using these Meijer Wheat Mini Sub Buns, their just the right size and they toast up fantastic! I also baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries, served these with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

 

 

 

 

Boar's Head HONEY SMOKED TURKEY BREAST
Boar’s Head HONEY SMOKED TURKEY BREAST
An all white turkey breast, lightly smoked and dipped in golden honey for a smoky, sweet flavor that is sure to be a favorite. Wonderful on Sourdough bread with lettuce, tomato, and our Vermont Cheddar Cheese for a lunchtime treat.
