So I've been told to include Turmeric in my daily meal plan. Dr. Gregar makes a big deal out of it too.
I've been adding about 1/4 tsp with a dash of pepper to my morning smoothies. but I am doubtful that such a small amount of can do anything or (much of anything). So I looked it up and found this website. With the accompanying video. The woman in the video is an RD but her cuteness factor is a bit over the top.
Anyway, maybe the biggest take-a-way is that the "recommended Daily dosage" is 500 to 1000 mg a day. that is between 2 and 4 teaspoons a day. My little quarter tsp a day hardly puts a dent in this.

A disappointment is that I found that all the recipes that include turmeric only call for a quarter tsp per serving. For example,
- Healthy recipes for zucchini noodles | Well+Good
The other big take-a-way from my little research project is that for the most part turmeric has been well researched and its benefits well documented.

So, in conclusion, I need to try to get more turmeric in my diet. Here are a bunch of recipes from WellAndGood
and some more from OneGreenPlanet
