Meal Prep: Turkey Picadillo Bowls
Ground turkey is a big staple in my weekly lunch rotation. It's easy to make, cooks fast, is high in protein and tastes delicious! You can serve it so many different ways but one of my favorites is in a rice bowl with vegetables and plantains. Nowadays the supermarkets sell diced bell peppers, onions, etc. If you really don't feel like chopping, feel free to use these to save some time!Hope you enjoy it!
