We are going with the Salsa Chicken for tonight...sounds delicious! Then again, we have plenty of ground turkey here and the Poor Man's Chicken Parmesan sounds rather tempting as well:
Poor Man’s Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients
2 jars of spaghetti sauce
1 lb ground turkey
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 egg
salt & pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
Butter
Olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
Place ground meat into a large mixing bowl. Add egg & incorporate into meat. Add 1 cup bread crumbs. Add salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste. Combine ingredients by hand until well-blended. Heat non-stick frying pan. Melt about 1 TB of butter & about 1 TB of olive oil in pan. Put 2 cups bread crumbs into flat dish. Measure 1/3 cup of meat with a 1/3 measuring cup & flatten meat into a patty, like a hamburger. Press patty into dish with bread crumbs to coat/bread patty. Cook patty in butter & olive oil just until both sides are browned. Depending on size of pan, cook 3-4 patties at once. Place patties in a flat baking dish, sprayed with cooking oil if desired. Repeat until all of meat mixture is used. Spoon some sauce onto top of each patty. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella. Drizzle more sauce on top of cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly, but not brown; about 15-20 minutes. Special Note: For kids, 1/4 measuring cup of meat is a great serving size.
Makes 6-8 patties.
Serve with angel hair pasta tossed with your favorite tomato sauce.
Amy’s Tips:
This is one of my favorite recipes for doubling and freezing for other meals. You can easily double the recipe and put the cooked patties in a freezer safe container to save you from another night of cooking.
Not in the mood for a chicken parmesan dish with pasta? This meal can be prepared as a chicken parmesan burger too! If you can’t get the kids to eat it the old-fashioned way, throw it on a bun and they will gobble it up!

No indulgences of self will can be trivial, no denial unprofitable; Heaven or Hell depends on this alone. A parent who studies to subdue it in his child works together with God in the renewing and saving of their soul. The parent who indulges it does the devil's work, makes religion impractical, salvation unattainable, and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body, forever.
Susanna Wesley
At Our School Desks
We are a Christian family desiring to raise our children with the primary focus of Training their Hearts!
I have no greater joy, than to hear my children walk in truth... III John 1:4
Train up the child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it... Proverbs 22:6
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!... Deuteronomy 5:29
Our mission in life is not to go to some far-off foreign land, but to work at home and in our churches and home communities. Our goal should not be to leave behind riches and possessions, farms and homes for our children, but a priceless heritage they will cherish enough to work fervently to pass along to their children. It has been done for generations and with God's help it can still be done. In teaching our children, we are striving toward a deep understanding of who they are In Christ. I am . . . a child of God, a gift to my parents and my country. I'm a person of great value because God made me. I can . . . do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God has made me able to do everything required of me. I ought . . . to do my duty to obey God, to submit to my parents and everyone in authority over me, to be of service to others, and to keep myself healthy with proper food and rest so my body is ready to serve. I will . . . resolve to keep a watch over my thoughts and choose what's right even if it's not what I want.
