Healthy
I’m also going to be making turkey
burgers today with
99 I just got bringing all over
[Music]
here he everyone and welcome to my
channel I’m Nikki and today’s video I’m
going to be doing some ingredient prep
so we’re back from vacation and it is
time for us to get back on track we just
went grocery shopping yesterday and now
I’m ready to prep some stuff to set us
up for success for the week so if you
enjoyed this video or find it helpful
please go ahead and give it a like And
subscribe to my channel I really
appreciate it and let’s go ahead and get
started with what we’re going to be
prepping today so I’ve got kind of a
long list of things that I want to get
done but I think that I’ll be able to
knock them out pretty quickly starting
off I’m going to be making a veggie mix
like I normally do so to make the veggie
mix what I do is I chop up some bell
pepper and onion I’ve got three bell
peppers I’m going to be cutting one red
onion and a zucchini and I just cook it
in a frying pan on the stove I spray it
with some nonstick olive oil spray and
then I just cook the veggies in there
for about 10 to 15 minutes I usually
pick a seasoning to add to it as well
something that goes with a lot of
different meals because I use the veggie
mix for different meals so today I’m
just going to use this Kinder’s garlic
Parmesan for that then once that’s
cooked I’ll just put it aside and I put
it in a container that I keep in the
fridge I make sure it’s cool before I
put it in the fridge so that it doesn’t
get too liquidy or condensated but then
I just use it throughout the week for
like eggs and rice bowls and Pasta and
Pizza whatever I need to add some
veggies to I can just use it so that’s
the first thing I’m going to be starting
with I’m also going to be making a
pickled red onion because that was
really nice to have the other week I
made some and we used them for like
couscous bowls and sandwiches and
burgers and we both just really like
them so I’m just going to throw together
a quick and easy pickled onion in this
mason jar using some regular vinegar
some apple cider vinegar I’ve got some
honey from the farmers market that’s
actually garlic chili infused so that’s
what I use for it and it adds a little
bit of spice and flavor and then just
some salt and pepper and water I’m also
going to be prepping some turkey burgers
so I’ve got 2 lbs of 99% lean ground
turkey I just mix those with some egg
and Panko and seasoning as well and
usually I would go and Grill them
outside but it’s raining and I don’t
feel like getting set up out there so
I’m just going to use my griddle today
which I got this from Walmart and I have
used it way more than I ever expected I
use it for pancakes tortillas Burgers
stuff like that but I use it a lot and
it’s just so nice to have in here so I’m
going to be using that to cook up the
burgers and then those are another
ingredient that I just keep in the
fridge their zero points and I can add
them to rice bowls or pasta or even just
have them on like a bun or toast or
something and make a sandwich or like a
patty melt out of them I’m also going to
be making some salmon so I saw this in
the freezer and I just popped it in the
fridge to Tha the other day and I’m just
going to be popping it in the oven
roasting it all I do is spray it with
some olive oil spray add some seasoning
and that’s going to be it and then I can
just pop it in a container and again
have it ready to add to bowls and pasta
for the week so that’s just a quick and
easy thing I’m going to have prepped I’m
going to make Adam some breakfast
burritos for him to take to work so I’ve
got a little bit of cooked bacon and
some chicken sausage that I’m going to
cut up and I’m going to mix it with some
of these Simply shredded hash browns I’m
going to add some green bell pepper and
onion that I already have chopped to
that usually I would add the veggie mix
but since I have the veggies for it
already chopped I’m just going to use
those for his burritos and then I’m
going to use these large extreme
Wellness wraps which this has six in
them so I’m going to make him six
burritos so I’m going to add eggs to
that as well and a little bit of reduced
fat mozzarella cheese and that’ll be the
filling and I will show you that once it
is all cooked then I just wrap it into
the burritos and wrap them in foil and
he can bring them for work so I’m going
to go ahead and get started I think I’m
going to start with the veggie mix first
so I can just get that cooked and out of
the way and then everything else will
come together pretty quickly so I’m
going to go ahead and get cooking
[Music]
since I was chopping up the veggies I
decided to just chop up the Red Onion
that I’m going to be pickling first and
set that aside in the Mason jar and then
I just start chopping up my veggies for
the veggie mix that I’m making today and
I can link the video in the description
where I make a couple other veggie mixes
but this is the one that I make the most
frequently because it goes well with so
many meals and usually I just use onion
bell peppers and zucchini
[Music]
he once I’ve got all the veggies chopped
up I just add them to a big frying pan
that I add some non-stick olive oil
spray to and I usually cook them for 10
to 15 minutes until they’ve softened up
a little bit but don’t get too soft I
usually like to let them cook for 4 to 5
minutes before I add the seasoning and
then I just continue to let them cook on
a medium heat and while the veggie mix
is cooking I’m making the sauce for the
pickled onions so it just uses some
white vinegar some apple cider vinegar
honey which I’m using some from the
market and salt and pepper and then some
water so once that’s all in there I put
it on the stove over medium heat and let
that cook
[Music]
I’m definitely going to make an effort
to prep salmon more because it was so
easy and it was so nice to have it
cooked in the fridge ready for different
meals but all I did was Tha it the day
before then I sprayed it with some
non-stick olive oil spray and added some
different seasoning and salt and pepper
and I just popped it in the oven
[Music]
[Music]
hey
then once the liquid is simmering I put
the jar of onions in the sink and I pour
the liquid in it got a little fogged up
on my camera but I just seal the jar
shake it up a little bit and let that
sit once the hash browns have been
cooking for about 5 minutes I start to
add the veggies in so I’ve got some
green bell pepper and diced onion that I
already had cut and then I also chop up
a jalapeno to add to that as well and I
just mix it in with the potatoes and
continue to cook them
[Music]
okay so the salmon is ready to be
flipped so I’m just going to go ahead
and do that and keep it
[Music]
baking and I’m just going to set my
timer for another we’ll do 5
minutes I also wanted to show that this
is what we do for prepping rice so
Trevor was actually prepping the rice
today we just use this rice cooker I
think he makes four cups of it and then
we just put it in containers once it’s
cooled off and then we have it ready in
the fridge to use
[Music]
when I’m making these hash brown
scrambles or the filling for these
burritos I like to make a little Center
in the middle and spray some more
non-stick olive oil spray to crack the
eggs into I find it’s just easy to just
scramble them up like that and then it
doesn’t waste a separate Bowl to crack
all the eggs in and mix them together so
I just do that and then I start to
slowly mix them with the hash browns to
combine them
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
to make the turkey burgers I combined
the 2 lbs of lean turkey two eggs some
Pinko breadcrumbs and some different
seasoning today I’m just using some
seasoning salt and then I prefer to use
gloves to just mix the turkey meat by
hand I find it’s just easier because
then I can use my hands to to weigh out
the different portions and to also form
them into patties so I decided to add a
little bit more seasoning I continue to
mix that and then I use my scale and
tear it to zero with the bowl on it I
see how much the entire thing of turkey
weighs and then I divide that by 10 and
that’s how I decide what each Patty is
going to weigh and once I have the
ground turkey divided into 10 equal
portions I just start to form it into
the shape of patties using my hands
[Music]
[Music]
I recently got this griddle from Walmart
when we moved and I have used it so much
it has been so convenient and nice to
just have in the house and usually when
I make the turkey burgers if it’s nice
out I’ll I’ll Grill them but today I
just thought it’d be easier to use the
griddle inside and it definitely was
then whenever I make something where I’m
dividing out filling I like to just lay
everything out at once so I’m making six
burritos I want to lay all six tortillas
out and then in the pan you can see I’m
just kind of evenly dividing it into six
portions that I can put on all the
tortillas but once it’s on them I could
also adjust and add and take to them to
make sure they’re all even
[Music]

okay so I am done prepping everything
that actually took a lot less time than
I expected Adam went out to run some
errands and I was trying to beat him
finishing all this before he got back
and he’s still not back yet so anyway
I’m finishing up the last two turkey
burgers but here they are done these are
zero points on Weight Watchers and they
just work perfectly as like a quick
sandwich option sometimes I’ll just put
them on a bun with like lettuce bacon
cheese veggies that I have on hand and
maybe like a sauce I like to cut them up
and put them in bowls sometimes I even
cut them up and put them in pasta
because they’re kind of similar to
meatballs so that’s what I’m going to do
with those it’s kind of like chicken
parmesan I’ll put like red sauce and
cheese and it works really well with
pasta but I’ve got Adam’s breakfast
burritos here so I just wrapped them all
in foil and I keep them in a bag like
this so he can just easily grab them I
didn’t have to label them this time
because they’re both just bacon and
sausage
then I’ve got my veggie mix that’s done
so it’s cooled off now and I will put
the lid on it I always store it in a
glass container like this and like I
said I like to let it cool fully because
then there’s a lot less liquid my salmon
is also done actually Trevor already
took some of it and I’m probably going
to use some for my lunch as well today
but this was super easy to just pop in
the oven and have it baked and then my
pickled onions are done and these are
again for sandwiches they’ll actually be
really good with these Burgers but also
in bowls which I could do a Falafel bowl
with this this and some cous cous maybe
some cheese some Veggie mix cucumbers
stuff like that so I’m feeling really
good we’ve got a lot of stuff prepped
and that really didn’t take much time
really wasn’t that big of a mess either
I’ve got a few dishes to do and then
that’s pretty much it for this so I hope
