Ground Turkey Ideas
There's an old Frugal Gourmet recipe for Greek Sausage using beef and pork. I substitute ground turkey and add it to the orange rind, cinnamon, allspice, salt, pepper and white wine; then I make it into patties and grill it. I serve it with a tahini sauce on pita with tomatoes, cukes, and onion. It's delicious and pretty healthy.
Healthy & Delicious: Black-Eyed Pea 'Caviar'
I make a salad of cubed cucumber, cubed cooked beets, cubed feta cheese, a small amount of diced red onion, and chick peas, all mixed with homemade balsamic vinegrette containing mustard, garlic, oregano, pepper and a bit of sugar. Hearty and delicious.

About creatrice
Location: Centerport, NY
About: Artist, craftsperson, serious foodie. Am a licensed art teacher, taught cooking, done some professional food styling.
Favorite foods: Savory main courses, Love to play with my food, shellfish, beef ribs that you have to rip with your teeth, artichokes, Will gladly trade dessert for more yummy main course, and almost anything with starch and oil/butter, My favorite wine is Amarone.
Last bite on earth: The perfect french fries, really crisp and very hot, or great latkes or a really good square potato knish. Serious, artisan bread, very crusty with great olive oil would do in a pinch.

I have a recipe for limoncello that I got from an native Italian. I use the yellow part of the peel and only steep in Evercleer (which we have to smuggle into our state, always stocking up when we travel) for three days before going on to the second step of adding the syrup. And that seems to be enough for good results (taste and color). I'm wondering - does anyone know why the steeped peel feel petrified after being in the alcohol - they gets hard and brittle.
