Eating healthy is particularly not an easy journey especially if you're just starting out. You will get hungry and the cravings for flavorful food will be hard to resist. Don't deprive yourself of hearty meals - grill your fruits, vegetables or lean meat for flavorful, smoky and satisfying dishes without having to feel guilty about shedding off some extra pounds.
Here you have 3 delicious grill recipes to choose from
1. Portobello Mushroom and Kale Turkey Burgers
A totally rethought burger recipe that prioritizes nutrition.
Although these burgers appear to be bursting in calories, they weigh in at around 300 calories each. A mushroom-kale mixture helps add bulk, while adding flavor, nutrition, and texture to the burgers.
What you need:
8 burger buns, preferably wheat
1/2 kilogram ground turkey
4 baby bella mushrooms
2 cups fresh curly kale
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chimichurri sauce ( or sub olive oil )
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
Avocado slices, for serving
How to make it:
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sauté onion and garlic until tender. Stir in mushrooms and kale then cover and cook until vegetables are softened.
Allow to cool. When ready, combine mushroom and kale mixture with ground turkey and season with oregano, chimichurri and salt. Using clean hands, form into patties.
Cook on a pre-heated grill over medium-high heat, flipping once, to desired doneness. Coat buns with sauce of choice then top with turkey patty and avocado slices. 😋
2. GRILLED PEACHES WITH HONEY AND YOGURT
If you’re looking for a quick an easy summer dessert under 100 calories, look no further!
Nothing says summer like biting into a juicy peach. Grilling them is a simple way to enjoy them as a dessert, a perfect ending to a backyard BBQ without heating up your kitchen. Delicious topped with yogurt and honey, but also great topped with low fat ice cream.
What you need:
1/4 cup fat free vanilla Greek yogurt (Stonyfields)
1/8 tsp cinnamon
2 large ripe peaches, cut in half (pit removed)
2 tbsp honey (I prefer local and raw)
How to make it:
Combine yogurt and cinnamon. Grill the peaches, covered on low or indirect heat until soft, about 2-4 minutes on each side. Drizzle with honey and serve each with 1 tbsp of yogurt 😋.
3. Grilled Shrimp with Oregano and Lemon
The sauce for this shrimp is a simple version of Italy's salmoriglio, typically made with lemon and herbs in a mortar. The sauce is also delicious spooned over grilled swordfish or any other meaty fish.
What you need:
1/2 cup salted capers—rinsed, soaked for 1 hour and drained
1/2 cup oregano leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Salt
How to make it:
On a cutting board, finely chop the drained capers with the oregano leaves and garlic. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, along with the lemon zest and lemon juice. Season the sauce with pepper.
Light a grill. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers and grill over high heat, turning once, until the shrimp are lightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and transfer them to a platter. Spoon the sauce on top and serve 😋.
