Ground Turkey Meatloaf with Cream of Mushroom Sauce

Stuffed ground Turkey Bell Peppers

Stuffed bell peppers were first introduced to me by my cousin's grandmother who was from New Orleans. She would called them "millitants" I have had them stuffed with seafood, ground beef, ground turkey, corn and a variety of other things. I think this is a quick meal, when you have leftover rice (brown or white), quinoa or even small noodles.
Bread Crumb- Any store
Chicken and Poultry Rub- Sam's Club
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning- Any Store
Old Bay- Any store 
2 pounds of fresh ground turkey 
This is about 2-3 cups of cooked rice from the night before 
I use 5 bell peppers. I had 2 halves of red and yellow. You can use the same color, or mix them up. It is a personal preference.  
Cut the stem of the bell pepper out, before you cut the bell pepper into two parts.  
If the stem is cut properly, when remove majority of the seeds will accompany the stem. Leaving a few seeds in will not harm the taste of the meal.
1/2 onion
1/4 cup of bell peppers minced
1 tablespoon or creole seasoning
1 tablespoon of Poultry seasoning
2 tablespoon of Old Bay
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
2 table spoons of Worcestershire sauce 
Combine all ingredients. Honestly I make sure my hands are realllly clean and I mashed everything together. I believe this mixes all the ingredients up thoroughly  
Stuff the bell peppers until there is a rounded top layer. I put about a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of the pan to ensure they won't stick. I also put 3 table spoons of water to create a steaming effect when the lid is on and they are cooking. 
Take one 8 ounce can of tomato sauce and pour over each bell pepper
Once sauce is poured thoroughly, cover and cook for 45 on 350 degrees
Eat and Enjoy!!!

Sauteed Brussel Sprouts

 So most people are suspect of brussel sprouts, for whatever reason. I believe that you haven't had them prepared correctly. If you like cabbage, then you should love brussel sprouts. I prefer them sauteed as opposed to boiled.
 So cut the bottom of the brussel sprouts off, and rinse them off. Make sure you check the brussel sprouts leaves to ensure there are no worms between the leaves. Set the sprouts to the side so the water can continue to drain off.
 Heat up a skillet on a medium to high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil. I also uses a tablespoon of whipped butter. The whipped butter gives it the rich taste.
 Once the skillet is hot, place the brussel sprouts in the skillet.
 Turn the brussel sprouts over after 5 minutes. You want to make sure that they do not burn. Once they are cooked on both sides, add the following.
1 tablespoon of sea salt
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of garlic salt
1 tablespoon of mixed or black pepper
Once both sides are cooked thoroughly, place a top over the skillet and let them continue cooking for another 15 minutes with out any additional heat. This makes them soft, and not soggy. Remove from heat and Enjoy!

Grilled Ribeyes (One bone-in & One Bone-out)

Sea Salt- 1 tablespoon (1/2 tablespoon each side)
Garlic & Wine seasoning or Garlic Powder-1 tablespoon (1/2 each side)
Pappy's Seasoning 1 tablespoon- (1/2 each side)
A1 Dry Rub- 1 tablespoon (1/2 each side)
The red seasoning is from Winco and is called the steak marinade. Use 1 tablespoon of that if you are able to locate this in your local supermarket or something comparable.
Place wax paper on the counter. Rinse steaks off and place on wax paper
Add seasoning evenly to both steaks on both sides. Let the steaks marinate over night in the refrigerator or you can leave them on the counter top for no more than 1 1/2 to have a instant marinade.
Place steaks on grill and watch for desired level of wellness. I cooked this on a medium fire for a total of 15 minutes. The level of these particular steaks are more of a medium well
Remove from grill and serve. Enjoy!

Roasted Corn

Take fresh corn and open it.
Once the corn husk are pulled completely down (NOT OFF) remove the silk from the corn
Remove all silk and rinse off the corn, thoroughly. Pat dry and place to the side.
Sprinkle garlic powder on both sides of the corn ears. Cut butter chips small pieces and place two pieces on each side of the corn ear.
Once you have spread the garlic powder and butter chips evenly on corn ear. Pull the husk up completely to recover the ear. Cook on the top shelve of the grill and constantly turn over to ensure all sides are cooked. To check on the thoroughness you can pull the husk down occasionally.
Take off the grill and serve hot! Enjoy!
