The Detox Diet

Michelle went to a Dr. who put her on a detox diet and lots of supplements to see if it would improve her symptoms of Fibromyalgia. I am doing the diet with her for support. First two weeks are chicken, turkey and fish, all veggies except white potatoes, and all nuts except peanuts. We started on the 12th. She loves hard boiled eggs, and I make sauteed veggies and egg omelets for breakfast.
I have had to be creative to keep interest and taste in the food she can eat. We had salmon on Sunday with roasted veggies ( asparagus, red pepper, mushroom, zucchini), salad with CafeRio dressing. For tuna salad I chopped up radishes, red onion, snow peas, celery, slice of avocado, and added sprouts and 3 T cafe Rio dressing. We ate these in lettuce leaf wraps. Michelle loved it and so did I! Monday I made a chili without beans and used ground turkey. Clyde ate two bowls and the next day he said "that was turkey?!" Lots of seasonings, onion, celery, garlic, red and green peppers, and seasoned tomatoes. Michelle liked it a lot.We liked it so much that Erin made a recipe today to take to work!
I have the Grill Mates Hamburger seasoning by McCormick and I think it helps with turkey.
Tonight I made Turkey Burgers and I really liked them. Here's the recipe:
Seasoned Turkey Burgers

• 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (I substituted ½ t. Grill Mates hamburger seasoning by McCormick)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional)
• ¼ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 6 hamburger buns, split

1. In a large bowl, mix the turkey with the onion soup mix, pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, and egg. Refrigerate the mixture about 10 minutes, then form into 6 patties.
2. Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. Pour olive oil in the skillet.
3. makes 7 patties, cook till kind of crisp on one side, then turn over. OR Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the patties on the grill. Cook for 20 minutes, turning once, or until well done. The inside of the burgers will look whitish in color when cooked through. Serve on buns.
