Here’s a confession… I have the hardest time spelling the word FRITTATA! Why isn’t it in my spell check? But I think I’ve finally mastered it. Yes, almost 32 years later. Paleo Pumpkin Kale and Turkey Frittata
Wanna know something else that is quite shocking? Well, i mentioned this in last week’s post but….
We aren’t huge fans of turkey. I know! Shocking! Although, we do love turkey or chicken sausage or using turkey in a stew, recipes, etc. etc. So maybe it’s not really turkey, but the way it’s prepared. Which is why I always get sent home with either smoked or dark meat Turkey leftover from Thanksgiving. It’s more flavorful and a great ingredient added to a recipe.
Like this one. Yup. It’s darn good!
And I’m thankful. I’m thankful to have a family who always shares and makes way too much food at each holiday event.
Because this allows the Kiwi and I create many delicious leftover concoctions. Hey, that’s what happens when you dream big and are always on a budget. You mooch off your family and make the best of each ingredient out there.. Come on, you know you do it too!
