It's what's for dinner!

Well, I decided to try something new for dinner last night. I was pretty pleased with the results. It was a variation of a recipe I had seen on the show 5 Ingredient Fix on the Food Network. The original recipe was called Turkey Robinson. So, I tried it the way the recipe read a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty good. Only thing is, I just don't like the taste of cooked spinach. I have tried and tried, but i just can't get past the gritty taste I get from it. So, I will eat my spinach in salads. Anyway, I decided to give the recipe another go, with a few modifications. So, here is my version. I hope you enjoy!
Turkey What's For Dinner
1 pound lean (93/7) ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 can great northern beans, rinsed and drained (you can use whatever white bean you like)
1-16 oz bag frozen green beans (if you don't want extra liquid, thaw and drain beans)
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large skillet, add the ground turkey and garlic. Cook over medium heat, breaking up meat and incorporating garlic. When meat is no longer pink, drain. Add the chicken broth and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the canned beans and green beans. Allow everything to heat through. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve over brown rice.




Browned turkey with chicken stock. Let the liquid reduce by half.




Thaw your green beans first if you don't want the extra liquid in the finished dish.


The finished product. I put 1/2 cup of brown rice into the bowl and added the turkey on top. It was pretty yummy and filling!
