Crockpot Turkey Tenderloins

Didn’t have my normal extra lean ground turkey (99%) at Trader Joe’s so I decided to get the thin, turkey tenderloins. 

Instead of cooking some each day .. I prepped them all in a big batch! Easy to have protein already prepped!

First, I created a recipe in myfitnesspal to get the most accurate scale weight when I go to eat the cooked turkey. 

Because the weight of meat cooked vs raw is different. 

STEPS:

I weighed out the RAW turkey tenderloins and that came out to 14.7 oz

I then added that raw weight to the MFP recipe along with 1 cup of chicken broth that I am cooking it in.

(can use any sauce you wish inplace of chicken broth but that will change macros)

Turned my crockpot on low and simmered the turkey, chicken broth, pink salt & garlic powder on low for 4-5 hours.

You will be able to shred the meat with a fork when it's ready!

I let cool and weighed out the COOKED meat/chicken broth mixture in grams. 

That is what I put as the “servings” for the entire recipe which came out to be 396 grams. 

Each time I go to eat the cooked turkey meat, I will add how many “servings” technically the gram amount that I wish to eat for that meal. This allows for 100% accuracy when eating the meat! 

If you're really still stuck then just weight and cook the RAW meat of your choice each time you want a serving or (oz) amount. 

Another tracking tip is just being consistent with how you log the meat. 

SEARCH in MFP cooked turkey breast, log it and then weigh it as the cooked weight. 

If you want to weigh it raw, then make sure it's pre-logged as raw. 

Whichever approach works best for you is good! It's all about being consistent with your intake!

Remember, nutrition is about 90% of your results !!!
