Today's protein choice was turkey.
Today's lettuce was leaf.
Today's grain was amaranth.
Today's fruits and nuts included peanuts, raisins, grapes, cranberry, mango and (I'm hoping this is okay) pear.
Today's cooking oil is olive.
One of today's condiments was cinnamon.

I cooked a turkey burger low and slow in olive oil. I added sage and some white pepper to the meat while cooking. Meanwhile, I put some amaranth on the adjacent burner in some water to boil, then simmer.

After cooking the first side of the turkey burger, I turned it over and, when it was just a bit cooked on the new side, cut it into chunks. I added some diced bok choy (just the white part first) and added a bit more olive oil, then turned up the heat some more. Once it started sizzling, I added the bok choy leaves and some peanuts. I cooked it a little while and called it done.

After you bring the amaranth to a boil, you let it simmer, covered, until most of the water is absorbed by the amaranth. Then it's done. It's almost like grits or Cream of Wheat or something. It's a base kind of thing that you can modify as desired. If you want something spicy, add spices. If you want it sweet, add sweet stuff.

I had the amaranth as a side with no seasoning except for the last couple of bites of the amaranth, to which I tried adding cinnamon. I think that might be a good combo if I also added a sweetener like xylitol or agave nectar. Next time.

The turkey and bok choy were great. A definite repeater. I really liked the added peanuts.

For juices today I had a mango/pear combo, then tried a cranberry lemonade. Quite nice.
