I am looking for some quick & easy Protein recipes for meals or Snacks. Anyone have any recipes or whatnot they just love?

I do the can chicken or tuna, with the fat free cream cheese, lowfat ranch dressing, garlic & pepper salt with pickles and makes a spread w/crackers... tired of this...

So I am looking for some more High protein lunch/snack suggestions~

And don't forget the power of condiments.......

Here's a recipe I use... for Turkey Burgers - they travel well for lunch and taste great.

1 lb ground turkey (really lean - good low fat protein)

1 egg

1 chopped onion

1/2 chopped red pepper

2-3 tbsp ketchup or bbq sauce (your choice)

garlic powder

paprika

Mix them all together (if you need mushier food, you can mix them in a food processor)... then add some breadcrumbs to make the mixture hold together.

you make them into burgers, and then bake them at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

You can eat them cold or hot and they taste great. If you use the food processor they are really easy to digest too.

Hope you like them - I like them loads better than tuna fish.
