Stir Fried Turkey Noodle Soup

I’m a lucky girl today! A made me this delicious lunch! A stir fry or noodle soup is so quick and easy to make so we eat them quite a lot in our house!

The tip I would always say when it comes to a stir fry is steer clear of the bought stir fry sauces, as they are packed with salt and sugar!

This recipe is only 6SP per serving, so ideal for lunch, or a light dinner!

Serves: 2

• 2 cooked turkey steaks, sliced into thin strips
• 60g noodles, dried (we used ribbon noodles today)

• 500ml water, boiled
• 1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 4 chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 5g ginger, finely chopped
• 20mls soy sauce
• 2 drops fish sauce
• 1 red chilli, finely chopped (adjust quantity depending on desired heat level)
• 1 stick lemon grass (removed on serving)
• 10 sprays frighlight

1. Add the onion, pepper, garlic and ginger to the preheated and Frylight sprayed frying pan.
2. Cook for 1 min then add the mushrooms, chilli and boiling water to the pan.
3. Bring back to the boil, then turn to a low heat.
4. Add the soy sauce, lemon grass, fish sauce and stock cube and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
5. Add the noodles and allow to cook for 5 minutes.
6. Then add the pak choi and tenderstem broccoli and once almost tender, add the turkey strips and cook until warmed through.
7. Remove the lemon grass and serve. ENJOY!

Turkey Fajitas with Romaine Lettuce Wraps

As a busy mother of 2, I love quick and easy meals that require little preparation and/or cooking time. I try to eat as healthy as possible and follow weight watchers new smart points.

One of my favourite meals I make is turkey fajitas with romaine leaf wraps, and you get A LOT of food for the 6SP per portion.

Serves:2

• 400g turkey breast, sliced into long strips
• 10 sprays Frylight
• 2 peppers, any colour, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 medium mushrooms, sliced
• 1 sachet fajita seasoning mix, (I use Discovery)
• 8 romaine lettuce leaves

I serve this with a homemade spicy burger sauce, seems to compliment nicely!

• 2 tablespoons light mayo
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon American mustard
• Couple of drops of Tabasco sauce

How to make:

1. In a large frying pan spray the Frylight to cover the bottom of the pan. Bring up to heat before adding the turkey strips
2. Fry the turkey strips until cooked through, then add the onion, peppers and fajita seasoning mix and stir, coating the food evenly.
3. Once the onions and peppers have softened, add the mushrooms and cook a further 2 minutes, or until the mushrooms look cooked.
4. While the mushrooms are cooking, mix the ketchup, Mayo, mustard and Tabasco to make the spicy sauce.
5. Serve with the sauce spread across each romaine leaf and the turkey fajita mix on top,
6. ENJOY!

n.b. Each portion makes 4 “wraps” but as you can see from the picture 3 is filling enough for me so only 5SP instead of 6!

Putting the cot up

So F is 6 months now, and still in our room. Today we FINALLY put up the cot to go into what will be his and J’s room. We currently live in a 2 bed maisonette, so space is most definitely at a premium! But the prospect of him moving out of our room fills me with both dread and relief at the same time. Dread that he is growing up so fast and before I know it he won’t be my little baby any more! And relief, because we will finally have our room back again (selfish I know, but his crib takes up so much room!!)

I have my weigh in at weight watchers tonight and I’ve pumped enough today that means I can even stay for the meeting. Really hopeful that I’ve lost more weight, so fingers crossed. 

Today I’m wearing: jeggings and a studded black jumper. 

Today I’m eating: turkey fajitas with romaine lettuce wraps. 

Tonight I’ll be watching: The Secret Life of the Zoo. I love it!!
