Poultry Day ===== Scrambled Recipe

It's no joke today is Poultry Day. It is a day to celebrate chicken, turkey, and other birds that are commonly ate. Because chicken and turkey are lower in fats and cholesterol they are often a healthier meat choice. These members of the poultry family are also responsible for bringing eggs to the table. Today, I share a recipe that celebrates the egg and chicken and it matter not which came first

This recipe is known as a "Tuscan Chicken Scramble". It contains spinach, basil, tomatoes, garlic and Mozzarella cheese. Many members of my family are counting their carbs and this recipe is one that is great for them and all "carb-cutters"


1 1/2 teaspoon each of butter and vegetable oil
3 ounces chopped, cooked, seasoned chicken
1/2 cup fresh chopped spinach
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 eggs
2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

Heat butter and oil over low heat in a 7-8 inch egg pan
While the pan is heating, whip the eggs in a small bowl with a wire whip until blended but not frothy
When the fat is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water, add chicken, spinach, basil and garlic and sauté’ briefly, stirring or shaking the pan often (do not burn garlic)
Pour in the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula but do not over stir or allow the eggs to brown
Remove the eggs from the heat when they are “set” but still soft and moist
Add tomatoes and top with cheese and cover briefly until cheese is melted
Divide in the pan and slide onto plates for two servings or plate whole for one serving
