Crockpot - Korean Ground Turkey

I found a korean beef recipe on the internet about six or seven years ago. I printed it out and saved it. The original version used ground beef, but I switched it for ground turkey. In our house this is a must! I doubled the recipe and stored some in the freezer, for those days when you just don't want to cook. We eat it with pasta, rice, in lettuce wraps (like in the photo) and burritos. Hope you guys enjoy it! Until the next one! 

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey 

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp ground red pepper

1 tsp minced ginger

1 Tbsp tomato paste

Procedure:

Put the ground turkey in slow cooker and break it up into small chunks with a spoon.

Put the brown sugar in a small bowl.

Add the soy sauce.

Add the Sesame Oil.

Add the garlic powder.

Add the ground red pepper.

Add the minced ginger.

Add the tomato paste.

Stir everything together until well mixed.

Pour the mixture over the meat.

Cover all of the meat, put the lid on and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.

Stir, breaking the meat up into chunks.

Serve or freeze it, as desired.

Ginger Tea

Hi! I know, I know it’s been a while since I last posted a recipe… let’s just say life happened and sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it. But this next year I’m back on track. I hope this new year 2013 brings a lot of joy and love to everyone! This year I’m gonna start with a tea recipe. I found it in the Food Network magazine volume 6 number one. This will be like the recipe of the magazine, but I will be giving it my own spin.

 You must be thinking, “why would she do something like that!?”  Well the answer to that is that this year I want to try different things, get out of my comfort zone, try new things and start making what makes me really happy. I wanna dedicate this post to my little brother whom I love with all my heart! Thanks for inspiring me to be better and awesome! ;)

The result: the ginger is a little bit spicy for me, but it tastes good.  I prefer this tea iced rather than hot. So here’s something new and different; and even though it’s not completely my cup of tea I enjoyed it and am thinking about making it different to fit me and my needs.  Stay tuned… tomorrow I will be giving in the next post my spin of this recipe! 

Hope you guys enjoy this tea! Until the next one. It’s good to be back!
