Quick Scalable Tacos

We've been making this dish every couple of weeks for the last couple of months.  It is fast, easy and scales to feed a lot of people.  Yesterday, I did all the cooking and preparation in the 20 minutes between when I got home and picked up Davis from daycare.  The only downside to the recipe is that it generates a lot of dishes, but I'm usually happy to trade off cooking time for cleaning time since that allows more time with Davis.  You can easily make more left overs by simply doubling the turkey.  I suspect this would be great with Soy Protein as well.

Quick Thai Red Curry

This dish was inspired by the label on a Trader Jo's Thai Red Curry Sauce.  For about $11, your get a quick, protein rich Thai meal for two.   Next time, I would I consider throwing in cubed sweet potatoes for an easy veggie.

Most of the cooking time here is in the rice.  I started the rice when I got home from work and after picking up our son from daycare, I did the rest of the prep and cooking.  Since there is very little invoked once the chicken hits the pan, I was able to clean up the kitchen and take care of other chores while dinner simmered.
