Fun fact I learned today: according to the United States Department of Agriculture, Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day of the year for food consumption in the U.S. after Thanksgiving.

That’s a lot of food.

It also makes Super Bowl Sunday one of my new favorite days of the year.

If you’re not in the mood to cook or could use a little help in the kitchen, the food-loving folks at MARTIN’S are totally prepared if you’re eating watching the game with friends year with a great selection of Great Entertaining party trays, including sandwiches, wings, fried chicken, desserts and more available to order.

Just in time for the big game, the new Instant Party Tray is available for order and comes complete with MARTIN’S brand Virginia ham, roast beef, perfectly roasted turkey, hard salami, domestic Swiss and American cheese, 24 MARTIN’S brand Kaiser rolls, pickle chips and sliced tomatoes. Visit MARTIN’S Great Entertaining website to start your order or order in-store at the deli, bakery, seafood or meat departments.

All MARTIN’S stores are also stocked with ready-made favorites at the wing bar or olive, hummus and salsa bar. Don’t forget to check out the produce section for pre-cut veggies and fruit as well as prepared guacamole and fresh salsa.

If you’re in the mood to whip up something delicious (and easy to make), try these Turkey Chili-Topped Baked Potatoes

Turkey Chili Baked Potatoes

Turkey Chili-Topped Baked Potatoes

Prep time: 10 minutes         Cook Time: 1 hour               Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon GIANT/MARTIN’S olive oil
  • ½ lb. ground turkey breast
  • 1 Tablespoon reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • ½ cup GIANT/MARTIN’S shredded cheddar cheese
  • Toppings (optional): sour cream, sliced green onions

 

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet; prick several times with a fork. Bake 1 hour or until fork-tender. Remove from oven.
  1. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add turkey; cook until no longer pink (165°F), stirring to break up turkey. Stir in seasoning mix and tomatoes; simmer 5 minutes or until heated through and slightly thickened. Remove from heat; keep covered.
  1. Cut potatoes open lengthwise; squeeze gently to open. Fluff potato pulp with a fork. Spoon turkey mixture evenly over potatoes, top with cheese and desired toppings, and serve.

Turkey Stock
Good Cheap Eats

Why buy broth when you’ve got all the scraps you need to make your own?  Turkey stock can be used in place of chicken stock in any recipe (or is a great base for turkey soup).  Plus you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy inside because you didn’t let anything go to waste.

Teen Food Challenge http://richmondmom.com/event/teen-food-challenge/ http://richmondmom.com/event/teen-food-challenge/#comments Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:01:01 +0000 http://richmondmom.com/event/teen-food-challenge/ Do you love to watch reality cooking shows? Do you want to show off your culinary knowledge and skills (or learn some)? Then this is for you! Be a member of one of three teams whose challenge is to develop a recipe and prepare the dish within 40 minutes — with ingredients we will only reveal to you at the competition! All teams will make a presentation to a judging panel (librarians), explaining the preparation steps, serving size, food safety concerns, nutrition value and cost of the dish. You will learn new skills and a ton of stuff about food. We will also make sure you get plenty of snacks so you don’t go hungry while you cook. Kristina Yager, a 4-H Youth Development Agent and representative of the Virginia Cooperative Extension, Henrico County Office, will be leading the challenge. If you have any food allergies or concerns, please call Adrienne Minock at 804-290-9200×5 when you sign up.
