Wild Turkey Paprikash

Since I come from a Hungarian heritage, I wanted to incorporate a low-fat, healthy meat selection with my family's spicy paprika sauce recipe. This dish is best served over cooked, buttered broad noodles or Spaetzle with a side dish of cucumber salad. You can also substitute domestic turkey or chicken in this dish.

Lamb Stew with Squash and Mint

Alphabet Soup

Kids love soup and reciting the alphabet – and we love this lower-sodium version of the canned stuff that we enjoyed in our youth. This is a meal that encourages playing with food by spelling out words and gobbling them up. If alphabet pasta is unavailable, use tubetti, ditali or mini shells. Have the kids help wash and peel the vegetables, so they know exactly what's going into their soup.
