BEFORE YOU START THIS POST, I RECOMMEND YOU CHECK OUT MY POST ON “MY PROTEIN SHOPPING LIST” CONSIDERING THE HIGH PROTEIN INGREDIENTS IN THE RECIPES ON HERE ARE GOING TO COME FROM THERE!
ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY PROTEIN PACKED BREAKFAST IDEAS HERE!
PS: If you’re someone like me who hates chopping/ prepping veggies, just pop in the frozen food section for veggies that are pre-chopped and prepped for you!
The great thing about these recipes is that they require little prep, and give you enough to last you all week, so it’s great for those with busy schedules!
Here are 3 delicious and easy Lunch/ Dinner recipes that I use every week to make sure I get in my necessary protein
STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS
-2 LBS OF GROUND TURKEY
-1 Cup of Shredded Cheese of choice
-10 slices of Bacon, or turkey bacon (I use Turkey)
-1 Egg
-(optional) 1 onion; finely chopped/ diced
-1 tblsp of salt
-1 tblsp of pepper
-5 slices of cheese to taste
-Salt; to taste
-pepper; to taste
-(optional) Italian seasoning; to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Place bacon between napkins/ paper towels and microwave for 8 minutes (or 45 seconds/ slice). Once cooked, rip and shred bacon into bits. Place bacon bits, ground turkey, egg, shredded cheese, chopped onion, and salt and pepper into large mixing bowl. Use hands to mash mixture all together. Once mashed, form ten, thin, equally sized patties (about the same length/height as your cheese slice). Once formed, place the cheese slices on half of the patties, then Place the patties without the cheese on those with cheese. Use fingers to encase meat around the cheese. Place stuffed patties on well-greased pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove, and enjoy on your favorite bread (I use P28 bread/ bagels), salad, or by itself! Remaining patties can be stored in fridge for up to a week!
Prepped Meat, Cheese, Veggie Flatbread burritos
–2 lbs of Ground meat of choice
-(optional) 2 Large peppers of choice, finely chopped
-(optional)1 large finely chopped onion
-(optional) 5 Cups of Raw Spinach
-(optional)2 TBLSP of minced garlic
-6 tblsp of Olive oil
-2 Large avocados pitted and mashed
-2 cups of shredded cheese of choice
-salt and pepper to taste
-4 p28 high protein flat breads (or flatbread of choice, but I recommend the p28 Flat breads for all that extra protein!) Click HERE to order P28 Products online, or HERE to locate any P28 Carriers near you!
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350. Place 3 tblsp of olive oil onto pan over medium heat, throw in onion, spinach, garlic, stir, and then the remaining olive oil. Stir, and sauté for 15-20 minutes, adding in salt and pepper to taste. Remove Veggies from heat and let cool for a minute.
-Place meat into large mixing bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, as well as any other desired seasoning to taste. Mash together with hands. Transfer Veggie mix into bowl and continue mashing until veggies and meat is all mixed. Place mix into a large greased pan and place in over for 20 minutes.
-while meat and veggies are baking, spread mashed avocados equally over flat breads, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over each flat bread as well.
-When done, remove meat from oven and equally spread meat/veggie mixture over each flat bread, then tightly rollup each flat bread.
-once wrapped, place each wrap/burrito “seam” side down (so they don’t unravel), on an greased pan and bake for an additional minute.
*HACK: Place a toothpick through the center of each wrap once rolled to really seal it up!
-Remove and enjoy! Extra wraps can be stored in the fridge and saved up to a week!

-Place 3 tbsp of olive oil onto pan over medium heat, throw in veggies, stir, and then the remaining olive oil. Stir, and sauté for 15-20 minutes, adding in salt and pepper to taste.
