1 AUTHENTIC SKINNY RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium size pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, being careful not to burn. Add crushed tomatoes, onion, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and bay leaf. Stir and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer on low 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic and cheese. Using wet hands, mix all the ingredients well until everything is combined. Form small meatballs, about the size of a ping ping ball (1/8th cup each).
• Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and serve over pasta or on whole wheat Italian bread for a meatball hero.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, sauté the yellow onion for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.  Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.
• Transfer to a blender with the tomatoes, cilantro, chipotle in adobo, brown sugar and ½ a teaspoon salt.
• In the skillet, add the butter and allow to melt.  Add the corn, zucchini, red onion, garlic powder, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.  Sauté until softened and browned on the edges, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.  Transfer to a serving platter and squeeze lime juice over the top.
• Transfer the sauce from the blender to the skillet and add the shrimp.  Coat the shrimp with the sauce and allow them to cook in the sauce until cooked through and sauce has thickened a bit, about 5 minutes.
•  To serve: Pour the shrimp and sauce over the top of the veggies and garnish avocado and cilantro.
