WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

PHYLLO TURKEY EGG ROLLS

1 lb lean ground turkey breast (no skin)
4 cups coleslaw mix (approximately 8-oz)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tsp grated fresh gingerroot
25 sheets phyllo dough (14" x 9")
Refrigerated butter-flavored spray
Sweet and Sour Sauce for dipping, optional
Hot mustard for dipping, optional

Crumble turkey into a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until no longer pink, stirring often; drain. Add the next six ingredients and cook 2-3 minutes or until coleslaw is wilted. Remove from heat.

Place on phyllo sheet on work surface with the long side facing you; Spritz with the butter spray and brush to evenly cover. Repeat with two more sheets of phyllo. (It is important to keep the remaining phyllo sheets covered with waxed paper to prevent drying out.) Cut the stack in half widthwise.

Place 1/4 cup of the turkey mixture along one short side of the stack. Fold in the long sides, starting at edge of filling and roll up tightly. Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Spritz with the butter spray. Continue process until all ingredients are used up.

Bake at 350 degrees 25-30 minutes then broil up to 5 minutes until golden brown.

Serve warm with your choice of the sauces, if desired.
