Meal of the Month - July

Wow, summer has definitely arrived here in Utah, and I'm feeling the heat! The hot weather makes me not want to use the oven. So, here is an amazing new grilling recipe to add to your collection!

I didn't cook much this past month, what with moving and everything, so instead of sharing a recipe I made, I'm going to share with you a recipe I ate twice this month. Just as good, right? And believe me, it's delicious!

Our neighbors, the Pfunders, were the first ones to serve us up this tasty meal. Then, over the 4th of July, my Grandma T made us the same thing. We were thrilled, because it is soooooooooo yummy!

Grilled Marinated Turkey
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 tsp. horseradish powder (optional-we had it once with and once without - tasted great both times)
  • 1 tsp. garlic salt
  • 24oz lemon-lime soda (7up or Sprite)
  • boneless, skinless turkey (I have found online recipes that say you could use chicken, too, but we had turkey both times and it was scrumptious!)

Mix marinade ingredients together; add turkey pieces and marinate for at least 7 hours. Cook over grill on low heat until cooked through. Yum!!

And if you are looking for a cool, sweet, summery dessert, I did make this Pioneer Woman’s Key Lime Pie this month and I highly recommend it. Actually, I recommend anything Pioneer Woman recommends - if you haven't read her blog before, it's great!!!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Crust

  • 18 graham crackers (the 4-section large pieces)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter

Crush crackers in a food processor or Ziploc bag. Pour them into a bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter. Press into a pie pan and bake for 5 minutes or until golden and set. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Filling

  • 1 heaping tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • whipping cream

Mix lime zest, lime juice, and egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Add in condensed milk and mix on high until smooth and thick. Pour mixture into crust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour—more if possible. Serve with sweetened whipped cream and more grated lime zest. Enjoy every single bite!
