I made from scratch an incredible meal that is healthy and filling and full of flavor (and ate it all before I could take a picture, my apologies). This is just a quick and easy lunch or dinner bowl that you just have to trust your taste buds with the measurements.
1lb ground turkey
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 zucchini
5 baby carrots
4 asparagus stalks
1 cup quinoa
ginger powder
low sodium soy sauce
minced garlic
red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
EVOO
Slice all veggies into long strips to prep. Cook 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water according to package directions. While that is cooking, brown turkey in a pan. A couple minutes before the turkey is fully cooked, throw the veggies into a separate skillet with oil, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Put the veggies on low heat while you finish the turkey (I feel like it gives them a better, crisper texture). Once the turkey is fully browned, dump any residual water and add soy sauce, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes- the soy sauce will reduce so use as much as needed but don't drown the turkey, there should be little to no sauce left in the pan. Once you find the flavor you want, add turkey to veggies and mix well. Drop a couple large spoonfuls of quinoa into a bowl and top with the veg/turkey mixture and ENJOY!
