Joy, 59, hosted Today's Super Food Friday segment.
During the portion of the show, she introduced a few healthy meals that viewers could easily recreate at home.
The health expert got particularly excited when unveiling her "new viral" dish.
"I needed something for dinner, and I didn't want to fuss, and I was tired and exhausted" Joy began.

"So I opened up my fridge and I saw that I had a mound of cole slaw. So what I done did," she continued.
Joy accidentally saying "done did" instead of "I did" was instantly pointed out by daily Today anchor, Craig Melvin, 45.
"What I 'done did,'" he said with a laugh.
The 68-year-old weatherman hopped on the bandwagon, amping up the jokes.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Al mocked Joy's blip, repeating it with an Older Southern American English accent.
He kept up the dialect, further poking fun at Joy along with Craig.
Sheinelle, 45, eventually intervened, comforting her with a side hug before she tried to get her co-stars to stop.
Joy attempted to clean up what she said initially, telling the morning show crew that she was going to show them "what she created."
The attempt proved futile since Al continued to rag on her while she revealed the ingredients in her rotisserie chicken cole slaw -Crunchy Chickenslaw- recipe.
Sheinelle stepped in once again, gently hitting his shoulder before she asked him if he "would stop" his antics.
ON-AIR COMEDIAN
Al taunts guests on the show from time to time.
Yesterday, he made fun of astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson during the scientist's appearance on the show.
Al quizzed the 64-year-old expert and his co-hosts as a part of his weather segment.
"In honor of Mr. deGrasse Tyson, we have a lunar edition of [the on-air game] Who's Warmer?," Al confessed.
Cueing the Star Trek" music, he invited Neil to stand beside him in front of the weatherboard that was now showing the first quiz question instead of the forecast.
He asked Neil, who insisted that Al called him by his first name instead of formally addressing him, to "help them" out with the impending inquiry.
"Who's warmer? Death Valley, California, or the Apollo 11 Landing Site?," Al asked.
Neil specified that the answer depended on whether it was "day or night" at the Apollo 11 Landing Site.
However, in the daytime, the Apollo 11 Landing Site is "way hotter," Neil explained.
When Al revealed the answer on the digital board, Neil came out as correct - It was 109 degrees in Death Valley and over 200 degrees at the Apollo 11 Landing Site today.
Neil busted out his "happy dance" to celebrate being right.

"I don't know if we really needed to see that," Al mocked, causing his co-hosts and Neil to laugh.
