I found this recipe on a blog I came across last fall, it quickly became a favorite of mine. Another blog that concentrates on making dishes healthier. I made this dish awhile back but never got around to posting it because of how busy I got, I figured I’d keep it around to post when I got busy, well here I am……….BUSY BUSY. I can still remember this dish like it was yesterday. I had no idea it was going to cost as good as it did. I’m always looking ways to jazz up the basic ground turkey recipe so when I came across this……… I was sold!!
