Cajun Turkey Pot Pie
Winter took its sweet time coming to Northern California this year, but it did finally arrive, and here we are with long, chilly nights and frost-kissed mornings.

brought to you by epicurious.com and NutritionData.com
Calories 301; Total Fat 14g; Carbohydrates 5g
The 39 grams of protein in this dish from Mario Batali's Mozza restaurant will keep you full for hours. Eating protein also facilitates muscle repair after exercise, so this is the perfect postworkout supper. Pleasantly bitter radicchio and pungent arugula are both more nutritious than blander types of lettuce such as iceberg. If you want to stick with a low-carb theme, have some creamy Greek yogurt with fresh berries for dessert. (View a visual guide to salad greens on Epicurious.)
