About this One Pan Quinoa with Ground Turkey
This meal falls into the category of “I didn’t know what I was making for dinner until 10 minutes after I started cooking it.” How long it takes: 30 minutes Equipment you’ll need: large skillet Servings: 4 This one pan quinoa dinner isn’t glamorous but it’s tasty and satisfying. It’s made with healthy ingredients like quinoa, ground turkey, and lots of vegetables, including greens. It’s perfect on evenings where you’ve just HAD ENOUGH of the day and want to make something quick, easy and nutritious for dinner. As you know, I frequently make and freeze quinoa which makes this meal even easier. If your quinoa is already prepped, this is a one pan meal which means easy clean-up. I like the Italian flavors in this recipe: mushrooms, tomatoes, and a good dose of fresh herbs. Basil, parsley, and oregano seem to be the easiest to grow, at least for me. Maybe your thumb is greener than mine. Between the beautiful fresh herbs, a little slosh of wine, and some grated Parmesan on top, this sauté has really great flavor. It might remind you of spaghetti (or it might not), but it’s super fresh, flavorful and healthy. And easy to make. WIN. One more bonus of this one pan quinoa with ground turkey is that it packs a punch nutritionally with 40 grams of protein per serving and less than 450 calories. It’s a dinner win, if you ask me!
