Baked Breakfast Turkey Patties
What I want this morning is a gigantic bowl of bone broth and a couple Baked Breakfast Turkey Patties.
I’m heading to my commercial kitchen this morning, and this breakfast is the perfect one for the pre-car ride or to take with me (since everyone always wants to know about simple breakfasts-on-the-run).
You won’t need many things. In fact, you only need 5 main ingredients: an organic, free range egg, 1 pound ground Kosher turkey, 1 whole zucchini, fresh rosemary and fresh thyme.
Oh, and a mini brownie pan, too. I mean, I guess you could use whatever you wanted, but this is how they formed into perfectly sized “patties” for me.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the mini brownie pan with Avocado Oil spray (or oil of your choice).
Peel and de-seed the zucchini and cut into a few pieces lengthwise.
Shred the zucchini in a food processor.
Note: Why zucchini? Well did you know that mashed zucchini can take the place of eggs in many recipes? I’ve never found it to be super effective, but I like to do it in recipes like this where I have a little egg (i.e. one) – and where adding zucchini would be an added recipe benefit.
Once the zucchini has been shredded, place all your ingredients in a bowl and mix together by hand.
Form the meat into “brownie patties,” and place the pan in the oven to bake for about 42 minutes.
Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately or save for later…..like me, today, on the run to my commercial kitchen to go a nut butter’ing!

Basil and Arugula Lemon Pesto
Our friends from Chicago stayed with us last week, so of course, I was in the kitchen a lot making bellies happy. Their favorite thing I made included my Basil and Arugula Lemon Pesto.
As a matter of fact, I’ve been in the kitchen whipping up so many things lately, since my November-December Holiday Program starts Monday and I have secret, special recipes to share with those who join….(Mini Pumpkin-Chai Muffins, Bison-Bacon Meatballs, Pumpkin Pie Filling and more!)
I realized after our friends went home on Friday that….
- The house is much too quiet with only Ryan, Fiona, Reagan and I. I’m so ready to be a mommy.
- I love cooking and baking for people. I love feeling needed. I love to see happy, smiling faces from food that’s not crap and tastes wonderful.
- Distance will never change who my best friends are. I have 3 in Minnesota (not including my BFF, Kim) and 2 in Chicago. I need them more than they’ll ever need me.
Cooking and baking all week for friends also reminded me how feeding bellies is a lot like my blog: they act as the vehicle to tell a story.
The best conversations are had over food and drinks (and I’m not just talking wine – but that never hurts).
I could sit for hours, noshing on good food and talking with great friends.
It never gets old.
Which is similar to my blog….a vehicle to tell stories.
Stories about eating.
Stories about playing.
And (mostly) stories about loving.
I have so many of them. Years of stories built up. Years of stories about to blossom.

p.s. To make this recipe low-FODMAP, all you have to do is replace the olive oil and whole garlic cloves with 1/2 cup of Nutiva Liquid Coconut Oil with Garlic. It’s a simple swap that could make all the difference for your bloat status.

A simple pesto recipe that's Vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and Paleo.
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby arugula, stems removed
- 1.5 cups fresh basil leaves, stems removed
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- ½ cup olive oil, divided (to give this pesto even more "lemon," you can use a lemon-infused olive oil)
- 4 garlic cloves (clove = one segment, bulb = entire head)
- 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ tsp. sea salt
Instructions
- Place walnuts in a food processor, and process for just a few seconds.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, except for only ½ of the olive oil and blend until it's almost completely blended.
- Add the last ½ of the olive oil.
- Remove from food processor, and serve.
Notes
Serve over Spaghetti Squash (or anything else desired).
This pesto complements the Vegan Lemon Lime Cilantro Spaghetti Squash perfectly. If you want to make a beef burger (or turkey burger) like I did to set on top, I'd recommend THIS burger recipe or THIS turkey burger recipe.
