Green Beans, Pears, and Smoked Turkey
I rarely add non-vegan recipes to my blog, but this recipe is so good and warming that I just had to add it! I occasionally buy turkey from a local turkey farmer. The farmers that we use free range their turkeys and ensure proper grain ingestion, free of hormones and antibiotics. My kids love the change in diet, especially on these cooler nights! Serve with warmed nan bread or french bread.
2 TBSP olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 pound smoked turkey breast
3 large pears, or 10 small pears
3/4 pound green beans
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup vegetable stock
the seeds from half of a pomegranate
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the turkey into 1/2 inch chunks. Raise the heat to high.
While allowing the turkey to slightly brown, peel and core the pears and cut into 1 inch pieces. Lower the heat and add them to the pan. Trim the beans, cut into 2 inch pieces and add to the skillet along with a little salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper. Cook for a minutes, then raise the heat to high and add the stock and stir.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are bright green and tender, pears are tender, and liquid is reduced to a sauce. Add the pomegranate seeds and serve! Absolutely delicious!
When considering women's leadership in the workplace, we have a long way to go. But the opportunities that we have to share our talents, our strengths, and our gifts are plentiful! Our roles are significant and we must embrace what we have to give to this world.
"In some key respects, though, the distinction between public and private, between professional career and mothering, is being blurred. Many stay-at-home moms have become publicly influential as they blog from their farmhouses, tweet from grocery stores, or phone in a conference call while watching a 2-year-old."
