Skinnytaste has some great recipes if you are looking for something healthy.

This one is one of our go-to favorites for a quick after work meal (roast beef, arugala and parmesan sandwich): link
We have done with garlic-parm fries on the side: link

I made a rubysi inspired hummus pizza last night - it was fast and healthy (3 slices was about 400 calories). I got a prepared pizza crust and put it in the oven while I chopped up 1/3 English cucumber, 1 roasted red pepper, 5 artichoke hearts (in water), about 10 kalamata olives, and 4 peppadew peppers. After about 7 minutes the crust was toasty so I took it out and spread lemon hummus (about 1/4 cup) on the crust. I then put on about 2 cups of arugula and the other veggies. Then I used my olive oil mister and gave it a quick spray and sprinkled a little red wine vinegar on top. It was fantastic!

We love my MIL's recipe for kung fu (aka kung-pao) chicken... super easy and also healthy, so that's a plus!

Kung-Fu Chicken

Ingredients

2-3 chicken breasts chopped in cubes
2Tbs soy sauce + 4Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 Tbs corn starch
Crushed red pepper flakes (amount varies depending on how much spice you like in your life)
1/2 tbs sugar
4 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions

Marinate chicken breasts in 2-3Tbsp soy sauce.
Meanwhile, combine water, corn starch, red pepper, sugar, lemon juice and remaining soy sauce in a small bowl.
Cook chicken in extra virgin olive oil 5-6 minutes on med-high heat. May add onion / pepper and cook 2-3 more minutes (we do not do this in our house due to my husband’s aversion to onion!).
Add mixture (with water, corn starch, etc.). Simmer for 5-10 min.

I've gotten really into spaghetti squash.
Last night I made one stuffed with vegetarian sausage, tomato sauce (jar kind), onions, and topped with mozzarella cheese. It is super simple, delicious and healthy. You could easily substitute the vegetarian sausage for turkey sausage. Sauté the sausage with the onions then stuff the hollowed out spaghetti squash. Top with the pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake at about 350-400 degrees until the inside of squash easily scrapes out with a fork.
