For fast week night dinners, we love our air fryer.  Not only do they make amazing veggies (we love air fried carrots, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower), but we also use it to cook meat.  The meat turns out delicious and juicy every time, so it is a real go-to for a quick meal with easy cleanup.  The only down side is that we have to cook the veggies on the stovetop. ;)

Ingredients:

Tools:

Meat thermometer

Instructions:

  1. Assemble your rub.  Mix 2 Tbsp brown sugar and a total of 2 Tbsp old bay, and 1 tsp other spices (chili powder and coriander all work well)
  2. Rubbed on thawed meat. Optional: wait 1 hr at room temp or during the day in the fridge.
  3. Cook your chops:

Air fry at 390°F for 2 minutes per side, then 350°F until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached (6-8 min, flip after 4 min).  

Reverse sear method by baking at 270°F for 10 minutes per side, rest 10 minutes, then finish under the broiler.

4. Rest meat 10 min and serve with a smile!

RECIPE: Cooking Pasture Raised Turkey

Before diving into the recipe details, there are two keys to success you want to adhere to when cooking pasture raised turkey vs “organic” or conventionally raised birds. 1) Plan to cook your bird at 325˚F for 12-15 min. per lb. 2) While the recommended safe cooking temperature of poultry is 165˚F, connoisseurs tell us that 145˚F is a better internal temperature to target. Your dark meat will be fully cooked, and the breast meat will be moist and delicious. Your pasture raised turkey will be incredibly delicious if you don’t overcook it.

RECIPE: Quiche for All Occasions

I think quiche is underappreciated in American homes. It is a super flexible dish that you can eat hot out of the oven, cold on a picnic, or pretty much anywhere in between. It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and can basically be stuffed with anything you have on hand and be delicious!
