Cajun Turkey…Bodybuilder Style!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chopped onions and bell peppers 
  • 1 small Squash (zucchini or summer) diced (adds a little extra color!)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (I use Tone's Cajun Seasoning with no MSG)
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (My favorite is Cholula!!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Diced tomato & onion as garnish

Instructions:

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a bowl mix together the onions and bell peppers, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Add ground turkey and mix well.
Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until cooked through.
*If you’re cooking for the man in your life – the “Carb-oholic”, or need a little carb-boost, the turkey pairs well with brown rice lightly seasoned with salt or Tony Cachere’s.

Today I begin a more consistent diet & increased weekly cardio sessions. I will also be incorporating steam sauna sessions into my weekly regimen along with daily Apple Cider Vinegar tonics. Outside of my normal BCAA's and pre-workout thermogenic, I will be including a multivitamin and OMEGA3's.  GOALS : Purge body of toxins Increase metabolism Drop body fat by 5lbs Decrease body fat percentage by 2% This is my personal challenge. #JoinTheMovement and put yourself to the challenge.

The Mongols would evaporate milk by allowing it to dry in the sun and would reportedly take the chalk-like substance with them on their long journeys of conquest. In Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, author Jack Weatherford suggests that a low-carb, high-protein diet with an emphasis on milk protein was one of the reasons for Khan’s success in battle: “The Chinese noted with surprise and disgust the ability of the Mongol warriors to survive on little food and water for long periods; according to one, the entire army could camp without a single puff of smoke since they needed no fires to cook.
