CURRIED TOFU SCRAMBLE WITH SPINACH (INDIAN STYLE)

This Curried Tofu Scramble with Spinach is a delicious and healthy vegan dish that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s packed with flavor from the Indian spices and is a great way to get your daily dose of protein and veggies.

INGREDIENTS

For the Scramble:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable broth or olive oil
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 block firm or extra-firm organic tofu, pressed and drained
  • 3 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped

For the Seasoning:

  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coriander powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon garam masala
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon water

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat the vegetable broth or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell peppers to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.
  • Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. On the other side, add the pressed and drained tofu. Use a wooden spatula to break the tofu into chunks and sauté until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients together, adding just enough water to form a paste (not too watery).
  • Pour the seasoning paste over the tofu, tossing to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
  • Add the sautéed veggies back to the skillet along with the chopped kale or spinach. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until the greens have wilted.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

PRO TIPS & MEAL PREP IDEAS

  • If you don’t have kale or spinach, you can substitute with broccoli or tomatoes for a different twist.
  • A few slices of fresh avocado on the side make a delicious addition.
  • For best results, use extra-firm tofu, as softer tofu tends to crumble easily.

TURKEY TACO QUINOA SKILLET

This Turkey Taco Quinoa Skillet is a one-pan wonder! Ground turkey, quinoa, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and Mexican spices come together to create a healthy and delicious meal your family will love on busy weeknights.

INGREDIENTS (ADJUST QUANTITIES AS NEEDED)

  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey (I use 99% lean)
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup jarred salsa
  • 1/2 cup rinsed quinoa
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Spray a large skillet generously with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the diced onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until it softens.
  • Add the ground turkey and minced garlic, cooking until the meat is nearly done, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks.
  • Stir in the chili powder, cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and diced green chiles. Cook for another minute.
  • Add the black beans, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, salsa, and quinoa. Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Once the mixture begins to bubble, pour in the water. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked through, still tender but with a slight bite.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheeses on top, then cover with the lid and cook until the cheese melts.
  • Serve the dish as is, in tortillas for tacos, or on top of greens for a salad. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
