Did my first turkey breast roast in the ninja. Yummy!!! First out in the bag the covered the turkey with cream of mushroom soup, added half a packet each of dry Italian dressing and onion soup, added 1/2 cup water and dried shiitake mushrooms. My turkey was frozen so I put it on crock pot mode in high. Oh I quartered a sweet onion too. I cooked it about 6 hours. Lordy good. Plenty leftover for sandwiches. The left vet gravy would be excellent for hot turkey sandwich plus it comes with it's own gravy packet. Total do again.

Ninja System: Swedish Meatballs

Recipe and picture by Vanessa Pellegrino :)

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, diced
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup Panko*
2 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
FOR THE GRAVY
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups beef broth
3/4 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
INSTRUCTIONS

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Panko, egg yolks, allspice, nutmeg and onion; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
To make the gravy, melt butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in sour cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in meatballs and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and thickened, about 8-10 minutes.

Ninja System: Easy Parmesan Chicken, Oven fried zucchini and side salad.

Recipe and picture by Yardie Girl Truckin' :)

For the chicken
2 Chicken breasts seasoned with your favourite seasoning. I used my Flavorgod spicy seasoning and garlic lovers seasoning and some smoked paprika and pepper. Salt is optional. Cover with about 1/4 cup of your favorite pasta sauce. 
Put chicken in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. Then cover with a little grated Parmesan Cheese and Shredded Mozzarella. Bake for another 5 minutes or so. .. Just long enough to allow the cheese to melt.

Oh, the fries. ..I cut them in strips. ..and seasoned similarly to the chicken and added a little olive oil. ... mixed some almond flour with some Parmesan Cheese and used that as the breading. Rolled the zucchini in that mixture then laid them out on some parchment paper in a 425 degree oven for about 30 mins.

1/2 lb each or ground chuck and mild Italian sausage
1/2 large onion diced up
3/4 C uncooked rice
1 to 1 and 1/2 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp or however much you like each of rosemary and oregano
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix all of that together for your filling
Then turn your Ninja on high, heat your water, and cook about 14 or so leaves until just tender. Take em out and obviously discard your water. 
Roll meat mixture into your cabbage
In your Ninja dump in 1 each 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Then I kinda "rinsed" the can out with some tomato juice and added that too. Add whatever spices you'd like in your sauce (I just added a bit more salt and pepper and oregano and garlic). Place your cabbage rolls in your sauce mixture and cook on slow cooker setting LOW for 4-6 hours and drool while you're driving! lol

Skillet: Bill's Black Bean Soup

Recipe and pictures by Bill Rodney :)

I give you Bills Black Bean Soup! You're gonna need to get your hands on the following: 1/2 to 1lb each of boneless skinless chicken, kielbasa sausage, and potatoes, 2 cans of beans with the liquid inside, 1 can of whole kernel corn (drained), a 32oz box of beef stock, some extra virgin olive oil, and just about your whole spice rack.

Pic 1: Dump the beans and corn in your pot and let 'me chill for a bit. Now, fry up those spuds, peel and all and cut any way you want (I do cubes/home fries) in some butter, seasoning salt, and pepper and add them to the pot.

Pic 2: Brown the chicken and kielbasa sausage in a little EVOO, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion and toss them in the pot along with your spice rack. No, really, this is a heavily spiced soup. I don't measure, just go by what feels good to you. I use Old Bay, Garlic, Onion, red pepper, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Once the spices are in, empty that box of stock over the whole darn thing and crank up the heat!

Pic 3: Bring it up to a boil and hold it there for 5-10 min, then drop it to a simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until it's reduced by about 1/3 - 1/2. I like it thick, and by reducing the stock base, you're gonna turn those spices up from "that's pretty tasty" to somewhere around "flying round house kick to your taste buds".

Garnish it with a little shredded cheese and sour cream and strap on your rocket boots, Scooter...you're blastin' off to Flavor Town.

Ninja System: Turkey Breast with Veggies

Recipe and entertainment by Teri Oliver ;)

Wanted to take a moment to extoll on the virtues of Bradley Cooper and My Ninja! First there both Hotties,they're both wonderful at dinner or making dinner and who wouldn't want Bradley for breakfast or the ninja making breakfast? 
But seriously I wanted to let anyone who hasn't considered the ninja yet know about that awesome turkey we had yesterday,too freaky easy and sooo good. JennieO makes a 2-3 lb turkey breast that is in it's own oven bag,so I plop that in the ninja at 375 for 2.5 hours and at the 1.5 hour mark added a bag of cut up yellow squash,onions and Brussels sprouts with the frozen bag of gravy that came with the turkey boob! Too easy -tastes great-crazy easy clean up and turkey sandwiches for breakfast!

Ninja System: Lasagna Caprese Roll Ups

Recipe and picture by Michael Wright and Vanessa Pellegrino :)

Here's the recipe. All my wife did different is use fresh mozzarella instead of shredded. 

Caprese Lasagna Roll Ups -
loaded with Mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and fresh basil!

Ingredients

8 lasagna noodles, uncooked
14 oz freshly shredded, low-moisture part skim Mozzarella cheese, divided
3/4 cup Ricotta cheese
1 large egg white
1/3 cup freshly, finely shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/4 oz)
freshly ground black pepper
3 - 4 medium Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/6 inch thick slices)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 cup marinara sauce, recipe follows
Simple Marinara Sauce
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic finely minced
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta according to directions listed on package to al dente. Drain pasta (DO NOT rinse with water) and align lasagna noodles in a single layer on a large sheet of parchment or wax paper.

For filling, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese and egg white until well blended. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Mix in 12 oz. of the Mozzarella cheese and season with black pepper to taste (I wouldn't recommend seasoning with salt just because the cheeses already have plenty of salt).

Place 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture over each lasagna noodle and spread into an even layer, going from one end of the lasagna to the other. Align 4 thin tomato slices over cheese mixture then sprinkle fresh basil over top. Snugly roll lasagna noodles to opposite end. Spread about 1/4 cup pasta sauce in the bottom of an 11 x 7 inch baking dish. Align lasagna roll ups, seam side down in dish. Top each roll up with about 2 Tbsp of the pasta sauce (covering edges of pasta so they don't dry out while baking). Sprinkle top with remaining 2 oz. shredded Mozzarella. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Remove from oven, plate pasta and garnish with plenty of basil ribbons. Serve warm.

1 cup frozen corn (I just used a can of corn, drained)
6 medium potatoes, sliced (I used like 7 of the small red ones)

Salt/pepper to taste
*My additions were half a red bell pepper and a half of a jalapeno, diced*
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese (add at end of cooking)
Mix everything together in crockpot (except the cheese) , cook on low for 8 hrs or high for 4hrs. Add cheese on top layer the last hour of cooking. *I just added cheese in my bowl*
