Ground Turkey Recipe
It's a dreary, chilly, rainy day here in Central Florida and I find myself craving soup. Was thinking of browning the turkey, adding it to some beef broth and maybe adding a can of peas or some other mushy veggie. But I had a reaction to some baked french fries I ate last nite for dinner around 2 am this morning, so am hesitant to go the soup route. Any thoughts or suggestions??
Some commercial French fries are dusted with wheat flour to keep them from sticking together. Always check the label, because some brands are safe — some are not. Homemade fries are the safest. It's unusual to react to the potatoes themselves, but certainly not impossible. Those of us who react to regular potatoes can usually tolerate sweet potatoes, and they can also be used for fries.
Many of us react to peas (and most legumes). Safer ingredients include celery, carrots, hominy (hominy is just corn without the shell, so it's much easier to digest), broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Gluten-free noodles are another option.

Yes. Virtually all of us can tolerate those two veggies. Most of us can also tolerate onion and garlic, but be careful with those (and tomatoes), because some of us react to them, even when well-cooked. I usually overcook my soups and stews anyway, so digestion is rarely a problem.
But canned and frozen veggies work just as well, and recent research at Michigan State University shows that canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are typically equivalent to fresh produce, and in some cases, better. For one thing, canning helps to make most fiber easier to digest, which can be very important for anyone who has MC.

Of course I feel obligated to point out that the study was funded by the Can Manufacturers Institute, but I don't have a problem with that, because you can safely bet that Big Pharma (which sponsors most health care-associated research) is never going to spend one red cent researching the use of food/diet for better health.

I learn something new every time I visit this forum. I did not know what Hominy was until I read Tex's blog above saying it is corn without the shell so now I'm going to buy and try some. I do miss corn and used to love eating it. Maybe I'll like hominy. As for your soup Gail, I find celery safer if I de-string it. See instructions below:
Wash and clean your celery stalk. Pull one rib of celery off of the stalk. Take a knife and cut partially through the celery where the rib changes from green to white (large end of celery rib). Do not cut all the way through.
Take the cut piece and gently peel the strings away from the celery rib. As you pull the strings will release down the whole rib of celery.
If you do not get all of the strings with the first pull, take a knife and gently lift a string from the end. Once you get an end sticking up, you can pull that string all the way down the rib of celery.

Hi Gail. I make soup all the time. Of course, now that I can eat more things, I can use any veggie, but you should be ok with fresh carrots ( I was always Ok with cooked onion celery, and garlic) and if you want to use a canned one, green beans are probably a safe bet. One veggie that most people don't think of, but tastes a lot like a potato when cooked is parsnips. I love them ( they look like white carrots). I don't know if you eat rice, but sometimes I add rice or rice noodles. I make a delicious beef/veggie soup that I use chopped stew meat in and potato, and carrot . It tastes just like stew.
As for potatoes, cutting up fresh and tossing with olive oil and salt and pepper then roasting at 425 is a great way to eat them. Red and gold ones are suppose to be easier to digest then russet. If you are in a hurry and want to try frozen fries again, Ore Ida makes one called "simply" that only has olive oil and seasoning on them.

I love it when we talk specific foods as it gives me reminders of things to try. Hey, to Brandy and Golfingail, I am in Ft. Myers. Maybe we should have a "state get-to-get her sometime as I drive up to Wildwood often to see my daughter. Wouldn't that be fun!! : 
Everything will be ok in the end, if it's not ok, it's not the end.

You're most welcome. And sure, I'll be more than happy to adjust and upload an avatar for you. Sometimes the system can be contrary about accepting uploads, but I can usually find a way to convince it to accept an image file.
