ONE and DONE

Who doesn’t love ground turkey?! I keep it on hand in the freezer for those weeknights where I don’t have time to go to the store. I can usually thaw it out and whip up something easy and awesome. Nix the noodles to make this lower carb. Toss these leftovers with eggs in the morning  – delish! Best part about this recipe? ONE POT.
