Here's my all time favorite low fat, low carb, high protein recipe. It's a Mexican-Indian fusion that uses lean turkey. You can substitute any ground meat you want. It makes a fabulous substitute for ground meat dishes like Sloppy Joes or Keema.
It can be made either in a slow cooker or on the stove-top. I highly recommend the slow cooker--it just develops the flavors a lot better.
Ingredients:
1 pound extra lean ground turkey (I use 99% fat free)
1 cup medium-heat Salsa (such as Pace ready-made salsa)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 pinches black pepper
1-2 dried red chillies (optional)
1/2 cup water
In slow cooker:
1. Mix all ingredients well in slow cooker pot
2. Cook on high for 4 hours. At the two hour mark, stir the contents of the slow cooker and break up and large chunks.
On the stove-top:
1. Fry mustard seeds and cumin seeds in 1-2 teaspoons of oil until the mustard seeds pop.
2. Add ground meat and brown.
3. Add remaining spices and heat through.
4. Add salsa and water. Cook, partly covered, on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
