How to make healthy pineapple boats!
Ingredients
These are simple and clean. A healthy way to make homemade taco seasoning. Naturally gluten and dairy-free like my pineapple upside down cake!
Instructions
Preheat your indoor Blackstone griddle to about 400°F. (Or outdoor griddle to low heat)
Mix ground turkey and seasonings in a bowl. I used my hands to get a good blend and added a splash of water and oil, to help retain the moisture. For clean eating, I choose olive or avocado oil, as my go to, for no seed oils.
Then cut pineapple into halves and score out pineapple into chunky pieces.
Now brown the turkey on the griddle, add a splash of water. This helps it stay moist.
Keep mixing and close the lid or use a dome.
Once the turkey is nearly cooked through, add chopped kale over the top with a splash of water. Close the lid briefly to allow it to steam and wilt slightly (about 2 minutes). Check out the tips below, if you want a kale substitute.
Then top with fresh pineapple slices directly on top of the taco mixture. Let them warm slightly while the flavors blend and mix gently. The key is to not let the pineapple overcook so you can enjoy the tropical taste.
Add pineapple halves to cook on the sides for about 2-3 minutes to get light caramelized edges.
Serve the taco griddle mixture hot, with within the golden halved pineapples.
Tips
You can swap kale for spinach or shredded cabbage.
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice or a drizzle of olive or avocado oil before serving.
This is also delicious served over lettuce wraps!
