I found this one on eatbetteramerica.com and it is said to only have 330 calories per serving.  Bring it!

1/2 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped carrot *we put in a lot more because we love crockpot carrots
1/4 cup chopped onion (1/2 medium)
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons dry sherry or dry white wine
1 turkey tenderloin (1/2 to 3/4 lb), cut into 1/2 inch-thick slices

1.  In a 1 1/2-quart slow cooker, mix rice, carrot, onion, celery, 1/4 teaspoon each of the seasoned salt, garlic-pepper blend and marjoram, the broth and sherry.
2.  Arrange turkey slices over rice mixture.  Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tesaspoon each of the seasoned salt, garlic-pepper blend and marjoram.
3.  Cover; cook 5 - 6 hours (if slow cooker has heat settings, cook on low)

Roast Salmon Provencal

This was a GREAT recipe that we found on eatbetteramerica.com - which is a great resource for healthy and yummy recipes!

Apparently this one only has 260 Calories per serving.

4 Salmon filets or steaks, 1/2 inch thick (1 to 1.25 lb total)
3 cups of unpeeled potato wedges *we got the little sack of multicolored potatoes and just cut them into chunks
1.5 Cups small whole fresh mushrooms
1 medium red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup fat-free Italian dressing
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 cup pitted kalamata or ripe olives

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray your largest cookie sheet with cooking spray.  Place salmon, potatoes, mushrooms, bell pepper and zucchini in the pan.  Brush with half of the dressing (both veggies and salmon); sprinkle with basil.
2. Bake 20 minutes
3. Add olives to the pan and stir vegetables slightly.  Drizzle remaining dressing over salmon and vegetables.
4.  Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork and potatoes are tender.


YUM!
