Mushroom Sauced Turkey Tenderloins

I know it might not seem  like it sometimes, but I do try to eat healthy.  All the cake recipes etc. you see on here, I didn’t bake them all at the same time.  I try to only bake two things a week and those I bake at the weekend.  The rest of the week I eat other things.  As a type 2 diabetic with diverticulitis and IBS, and severe exema,   finding a healthy balance can be really difficult, and a bit of a mine field, if not down right depressing from time to time.

I’ve been recently been looking into the Whole 30 way of eating and wondering if this might not be a way of eating for me to explore.  This eating plan involves eating meat, seafood, eggs, tons of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of good fats from fruits, oils, nuts and seeds, preferably as unprocessed and natural as possible, for 30 days, cutting out sugars, grains, alcohol, legumes and  dairy.  For 30 days.

I’m not sure I can do that  . . . but I am going to try.    We will see how it goes.  This program promises that if you follow it to the letter in 30 days you put an end to unhealthy cravings and habits, restore a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, and balance your immune system.

It sounds good and like something I want to do.   This week I am trying a few different Whole 30 recipes to see if it is something I might be able to live and cope with.   Sticky my toes into the water as it were . . .  to test the temperature and if I like it, then I’ll jump in with both feet.

To that end today I tried a recipe that I found on Physical Kitchness For a Cream of Celery and Mushroom Baked Chicken.   it looked really good.  I have adapated it though, to use turkey tenderloin meat and I switched out the directions a bit.

I was very happy with the end result and Todd was too.  It was delicious.  I used ground almonds because I didn’t really have any almond flour and the almond flour available online was quite expensive.  I looked up what is almond flour and it appears that it is just finely ground raw almonds.  In any case the ground almonds I used worked well.  We had it with stir steamed tenderstem broccoli and steamed new potatoes.  We both enjoyed it very much.

Note- This is great with some tiny boiled new potatoes and broccoli on the side.

Bon Appetit!
