A few months ago I stocked up on ground turkey during a great sale happening at my local grocers and with all that extra turkey, needed to get creative.
If you have 30 minutes, then you have more then enough time to whip up this delicious #WeekdayWin Dinner (or lunch!). Another great thing about this recipe is that it’s great for advanced meal prep as it taste so good even days after if properly stored & refrigerated. My husband brings them for his lunches and they carry easily and well.
