Ground Turkey Taco Skillet- 20 Minute Meal Prep

Ground Turkey Taco Skillet- 20 Minute Meal Prep

When most people think of meal prepping, they imagine spending hours in the kitchen preparing a weeks' worth of meals and snacks and get overwhelmed even thinking about it. Perhaps in an ideal world, you would have the time to invest in prepping for hours each week and having every meal and snack stored away in a storage container in your refrigerator, but let's be honest, most people don't have that kind of time! As a mom of 3 kids, I have a busy schedule and I simply don't have the time to prep an entire week of food at a time. Many people avoid meal prepping all together because of the time issue but what I would ask you to consider is to simplify the process by just having a few prepped meals available. Even something as simple as having some grilled chicken prepared in the refrigerator will get you out of the bind of deviating from your healthy eating regiment. The following recipe is complete in under 20 minutes and provides 4 prepped portions. I keep this on hand to use on top of salads, in lettuce taco wraps, to stuff bell peppers, or to use in omelets. This recipe is low in fat, carbs and sodium and high in protein.

Ingredients:

1 Package of Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast (I use Jennie-O)
1 Red Bell Pepper, Diced
1 Green Bell Pepper, Diced
4 Green Onions, chopped
1/2 Packet Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Taco Seasoning
Low Sodium Chicken Broth

Steps:

1. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add 1 cup low sodium chicken broth, diced peppers and green onions. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until most of broth is absorbed.
2. Add ground turkey breast to skillet and cook until done (no longer pink).
3. Add seasoning and 1/2 cup low sodium chicken, simmer until broth is absorbed
