Southwest Turkey Burgers
Serve these flavourful turkey burgers on whole wheat buns with salsa, guacamole (or sliced avocado), lettuce and sliced red onion.

Grilled Tofu with Sautéed Greens
Feel free to use other greens in place of spinach, such as bok choy or Swiss chard. If you don't have black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds work just as well.

This colourful, tasty stir-fry takes than 20 minutes to prepare, making it perfect for weeknights when you’re short on time. If you don’t have time to cook brown rice, serve this with whole wheat couscous or soba noodles instead.

This lighter version of Caesar Salad (345 calories per serving!) uses low-fat yogurt and skips the raw egg yolks. If you don’t have anchovy fillets, substitute 1 tsp (5 ml) anchovy paste instead.
