Turkey Soup

2 lbs of ground Turkey
3 tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Onion powder
1 Tbsp Chili powder
1 Tbsp Cumin
EVOO (for cooking the turkey)
2 cups diced Tomatoes (then puree it)
1 8oz can of Tomato sauce
4 cups Chicken Broth
1/2 head of Cabbage

In a large pan, brown the ground turkey using the EVOO.  Slice cabbage into strips. Once turkey is cooked add it to the slow cooker with all the remaining ingredients.  Allow to cook on low for 6 hours, or 3-4 hours on high.  Serve with sliced/cubed avocado and cheese. You can add Tortilla Strips if you so desire.

To make this Paleo, all you have to do is eliminate the cheese and don't added the tortilla strips. :-)

Sloppy Joe Beef Casserole

Warning this is by far is not Paleo!  It wasn't meant to be from the beginning.  If anybody out there can make it Paleo, please leave a comment.  Also, this was meant for the ease and speed so if you make it Paleo, it can't take more than an hour to make.
