Spicy Green Beans with Ground Turkey Recipe
Some days, especially in busy and over-indulgent December, I just need dishes that take minimal effort to prepare, clean up, and are light yet tasty. This recipe, my friend, is all the above.
Some people, like Mr. H. not naming any names, aren’t exactly fans of ground turkey. In fact, when I mention that ground turkey is the protein of a dish, I’m mostly met with a blank look. I get it, it does have less fat and thus less flavour than say, ground pork. But when it’s not the primary ingredient in a dish and only scattered about, it really doesn’t make much of a difference.
This recipe is very flavourful and I, nor my waist-line, missed the fatty ground pork.
