Must Try Meal Prep
Hi Friends!! 💃🏼
Happy Sunday ☀️
On this week’s lunch menu is a turkey stir fry!
1. Start off by washing and cutting up your veggies. You can use whatever veggies you want, but I like to do a head of broccoli, 2 bell peppers and a half of an onion.
2. I then will get the veggies in a frying pan and sautée until browned. I did add a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder and minced onion flakes.
3. While the veggies cook, put together the sauce. I make 2 “batches” of this. One I will add once everything is cooked and another for my containers.
see the recipe in the photo :)
4. Once the veggies are finished, I put them in a bowl off to the side and start cooking the ground turkey in the same pan.
5. Once the turkey is started, I heat up a pot of boiling water to make the rice noodles in. Cook noodles according to the package
6. Once the turkey is fully cooked, I add back in the veggies, stir, then add in one of the sauces. Let cook for about 3 mins
7. Plate the food! I divide up the noodles then do 1 cup of the meat and veggie mixture to each container. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top if you prefer!
8. All done!!!
What are you prepping for this week?

Stir fry dishes are a fantastic way to enjoy a healthy, balanced meal that can be prepared in advance. Utilizing a variety of vegetables is key; broccoli, bell peppers, and onions not only provide essential vitamins but also add color and texture to your dish. Keeping your meal prep vibrant and nutritious is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Make sure to wash and chop your ingredients before starting so that the cooking process is smooth and quick. Cooking your veggies until they are golden brown enhances their flavor, bringing a delightful caramelization to the dish. A light sauce made with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of honey can elevate the dish, tying all the flavors together. Using ground turkey as your protein not only adds richness but also keeps it lean and healthy. It’s important to cook the turkey thoroughly while retaining moisture, and by adding the sautéed veggies back into the pan, you’ll create a synergistic flavor in your stir fry. Rice noodles are a stress-free carbohydrate option that complements the stir fry perfectly. Cooking them according to package instructions ensures that they maintain their texture. Portioning out your meal is crucial for effective meal prep; it keeps your portions in check and makes it easy to take your meals on the go. Consider adding toppings like green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and aesthetic. Meal prepping not only saves time during the week but also encourages healthier eating habits. Planning your meals can lead to better nutritional choices and can ultimately enhance your well-being. Try out this turkey stir fry recipe and make the most of your meal prep efforts!
