Turkey Confetti, Garlic Toast & Chewy Chex Treats

Learing to eat gluten free is still a challenge at times, especially when the things you like to eat, or make, require ingredients that have gluten in them. I've found some of these ingredients that are made gluten free (barbque sauce, salad dresssings/mariandes, mayo) and most importantly as an islander soy sauce. San-J makes an entire certified gluen free line of gluten free products and condiments/sauces that are readily available at local grocery chains (Fred Meyers, Top Food & Drugs, Whole Foods, Walmart), some of which are also made organic. I also love their Organic Gluten Free Tamari Travel Packs which I keep in my purse for trips as well as dinning out experiences. Their Gluten Free Reduced Sodium Tamari Soy Sauce is a staple in my kitchen and makes my love for sushi and cultural foods continually possible.

With that being said, today's recipe for Turkey Confetti is laced with gluten free soy sauce as well as loaded with veggies and quick cooking ground turkey. Paired with Garlic Toast made on Udi's Gluten Free Multigrain Bread (also found at Fred Meyers, Whole Foods and Safeway) and topped off with Chewy Chex Treats created with gluten free Chex bought at the above mentioned stores - this meal is loaded with flavor, quick, easy and as always GLUTEN FREE!

Let's get cooking...Happy eating y'all!

Turkey Confetti:
Oil
1 package ground turkey (or chicken)
Salt/Pepper
1 tablespoon red chilli flakes
1/2 onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 carrot (shredded)
1 1/2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli florets (thawed)
3-4 tablespoons San-J Gluten Free Reduced Sodium Tamari Soy Sauce

- Heat oil over medium high heat in a large pan. Brown up ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper (ensure that you do not add too much salt, the soy sauce will add salt content to the dish later).

- When meat is almost done cooking, red chilli flakes, onion and garlic. Combine and cook until onions are translucent and garlic has softened.

- Mix in carrots and mushrooms; continue to cook until mushrooms are brown and carrots have softened.

- Add in broccoli and soy sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes or so; until broccoli is heated through and flavors have time to combine.

Garlic Toast:
8 slices Udi's Gluten Free Multigrain Toast
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon shredded parmesan cheese
Paprika
**Preheat oven to 350**

- Arrange toast on baking sheet and set aside.

- Melt butter with garlic powder and parmesan cheese.
- Brush onto each slice of bread and top with a light sprinkle of paprika.
- Bake until golden brown (about 10-15 minutes).

Chewy Chex Treats:
6 1/2 cups Gluten Free Chex Cereal - crushed (Try Rice, Corn or Cinnamon varieties)
4 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 package mini marshmallows

- Melt butter in a large pot; add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and well combined.
- Remove from heat and add in cereal.
- Pour immediately into ungreased pan; use the back of a spoon lightly spread with cooking spray to spread mixture evenly.
- Let set for about 10 minutes and then cut and serve.

(This batch was made with corn Chex which changes the taste; made with rice Chex these chewy squares will taste like traditional Rice Krispy Treats.)
