(Turkey is low in fat and high in protein and vitamins. It is an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium and B vitamins. Turkey is low in saturated fat thus; it could be integrated to a preventative diet against cardiovascular diseases. Its high level of selenium could also contribute to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, because turkey protein is rarely allergen, this poultry is particularly interesting for people suffering from food allergies.)

Focaccia Chocolate Flax Bread-(Phases 3-4)

2 cups flax seed meal (can be purchased at HyVee in Health Market, 1st isle, Bob's Red Mill)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 Tablespoons Splenda
2-3 Tablespoons of cocoa powder
5 beaten eggs
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare pan (a 10 X 15 bar pan) with Pam spray.

1) Mix dry ingredients well -- a whisk works well.
2) Add wet to dry, and combine well. Make sure there aren't obvious strings of egg white hanging out in the batter.
3) Let batter set for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken up some (leave it too long and it gets past the point where it's easy to spread.)
4) Pour batter onto pan. Because it's going to tend to mound in the middle, you'll get a more even thickness if you spread it away from the center somewhat, in roughly a rectangle an inch or two from the sides of the pan (you can go all the way to the edge, but it will be thinner).
5) Bake for about 20 minutes, until it springs back when you touch the top and/or is visibly browning even more than flax already is.

6) Cool and cut into whatever size slices you want.

At 12 servings, each piece of bread has less than one gram of carbohydrate -- .8 to be exact -- plus 5 grams of fiber. Very easy to mix and bake.....
