CRUSTLESS PIZZA CASSEROLE
To cook in a crock pot I browned the meat prior to placing in the crock pot. Once
meat is in the crock pot , spread it out evenly. mix all seasonings with the tomato
sauce then pour over the meat. Top with cheese and your choice of toppings. Cook
on low heat for 4 hours then serve and enjoy! I hope you try this out and enjoy!
Another way to make this if you don’t have both ground turkey and sausage another
great option is to use 2 pounds of ground meat. I have seen recipes that used that
instead of half ground meat half sausage! Or you can make it strictly veggies! What I
love about this is you truly can make it to your liking or family needs!!! Enjoy
Place ground turkey and turkey sausage in the Instant pot. Turn on saute and cook
until brown and crumbles, drain any excess liquid should not be a lot if using ground
turkey
Pour sauce over meat , then add all seasonings , mix well
Top with cheese and pepperoni slices ( or any toppings you choose )
Place on Manual High pressure for 5 minutes. Do a quick release,
serve and enjoy!
1 Pound Ground Turkey
1 Pound Italian Turkey Sausage
2 Cups Shredded Cheese
12 Ounces Low sodium tomato sauce
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder , or to taste
1 Teaspoon Dried Minced Onion

ASIAN CHICKEN
Place chicken in the Instant Pot.
In a small bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients together, except flour.
Pour over honey mixture over chicken and place the top on the pressure cooker. **If
you are using an 8 quart pot, add 2/3 cup of water.
Turn to high pressure and set for 15 minutes. It should take about 15 minutes to come to
pressure.
After the timer is up, switch to quick release.
To thicken sauce, remove chicken and set to saute. Whisk in two teaspoons of flour, if
desired, and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Then add chicken back in and

Pour over honey mixture over chicken. **8 quart pot, add 2/3 cup of water.
Place your trivet over the chicken and liquid.
In a IP safe pot, add equal parts rice and water. I usually do 1-2 cups of rice and then the
same amount of water. Cover with foil.
Place your pot of rice on the trivet (use your sling if you have one or make an aluminum
foil sling)
Set your IP for 22 minutes. Then do a 10 minute natural release.
Carefully remove rice from Instant Pot, then the trivet and the chicken.
To thicken sauce, set IP to saute. Whisk in two teaspoons of flour, if desired, and cook for
a few minutes, stirring frequently. Then add chicken back in and keep warm until you are

HEALTHY CRACK CHICKEN
There are two ways to make this recipe in the slow cooker. The first is to cook the
chicken on high heat for 4 hours, then drain and shred the chicken. The second is to
cook the chicken on the stove, drain and shred, and add it to the slow cooker. Choose
the chicken cooking method that works best for you.
Mix the cottage cheese, yogurt, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, parsley, and dill
together in a blender. Mix well until you have a ranch like dressing. Set aside until ready
to use.
Add the blended sauce, turkey bacon, and cheddar cheese over the chicken. Mix well.
Cook the dip on low heat for 1.5 hours.
Place the frozen chicken in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup water, then lock the
lid into place and turn the pressure valve to seal.
Cook on high pressure using the manual function for 12 minutes. When done let the
pressure release naturally. This will prevent the chicken from drying out.
While the chicken is cooking cook the turkey bacon in the oven according to the
package. Cut into cubes and set aside until ready to use.
Mix the cottage cheese, yogurt, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, parsley, and dill
together in a blender. Mix well until you have a ranch like dressing. Set aside until ready
to use.
Drain and shred the chicken. Pour the dressing from the blender, turkey bacon, and
cheddar cheese over the chicken. Mix well.
You can turn the Instant Pot to sauté to help the melt the cheese if your chicken has
cooled.
1 lb chicken breast frozen or thawed, you
can also use boneless skinless thighs
4 slices turkey bacon diced
1/4 cup cheddar cheese (optional)
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup Greek yogurt unflavored
1 tsp garlic salt

pepper, garlic salt, bell pepper, and onion on top. Do NOT stir.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 3-4 hours on high, 5-6 hours on
low, or until the pasta and chicken are done.

Add the pasta and almond milk to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Then add the
chicken, salt, pepper, garlic salt, bell pepper, and onion on top. Do NOT stir.
Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook the pasta on high
pressure for 4-5 minutes (1/2 the recommended cook time on the pasta box).

liquid. You will want to drain any liquid left. The amount is going to depend on
how much liquid your chicken released.

cheese until melted. Garnish and serve.

CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE
Add all the ingredients to your slow cooker except the cheese and eggs.

CHORIZO AND EGGS CASSEROLE
Turkey Chorizo Recipe
In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients together. Mix seasoning into the
ground turkey well using either your hands or a stiff utensil.
Next cover the chorizo and transfer it to an air tight container or plastic storage bag.
Place the chorizo in the refrigerator overnight to allow the flavors to meld. It will last
in the fridge uncooked for 2-3 days. You can also split the chorizo into 1/2 pounds
and freeze until ready to use.
When ready to cook, defrost and brown in a skillet or in the Instant Pot. It is delicious
with eggs or to make spicy spaghetti.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside until
ready to use.
Turn the Instant Pot to saute. When the Instant Pot hot brown the chorizo, bell
pepper, and zucchini for 2-3 minutes. This step is optional but will keep the chorizo
from cooking in clumps.
Turn off the Instant Pot and transfer the browned chorizo and vegetables to a
greased round oven safe dish that fits inside the Instant Pot.
Pour the eggs over the chorizo and vegetables.
Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot insert. Place a trivet at the bottom of the Instant
Pot and then place the chorizo and eggs dish on top of the trivet.
Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure using the
"manual" or "pressure cook" setting for 20 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
Remove the chorizo and eggs from the Instant Pot. Serve hot topped with melted
cheese.

TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA
In a large oil sprayed skillet saute the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and
