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.

TURKEY LETTUCE CUPS

1 tbsp olive oil

1 lb lean ground turkey

1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1/4 cup water

8 Bibb lettuce leaves

2 green onions, sliced

1 red jalapeno chili, sliced

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink, about 7 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the barbecue sauce and water, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until flavors blend, 5 minutes. Fill lettuce leaves with the turkey mixture. Top with the green onions and jalapeno slices.
