Turkey Stir-fry Fiesta
We’ve always loved stir-fries and one reason why is that they are so quick and easy—and of course, healthy! (Maybe you’ve tried some of our stir-fries like our Broccoli Peanut Stir-fry or our Veggie Quinoa Stir-fry!) But if you’re like many of our clients, you tend to make the same ones all of the time and feel they can get a bit boring after a while, which is why we thought of this fun, colorful dish to spice things up. By adding some powerful flavors and fresh herbs, this dish really comes to life.
Our Turkey Stir-fry Fiesta incorporates a rainbow of colors—a true sign of a phytonutrient packed meal, full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories to help prevent cell damage while boosting your immunity. And it’s really easy to make and very filling. This dish is packed with lean protein—32 grams per serving–and it’s because of this that our clients tell us this meal really keeps them satiated for hours! And we feel the same way, score! 🙂
If you want to switch it up later in the week when you have leftovers, try this dish over some brown rice or wheat pasta. So whatcha waiting for? Join us for this fiesta!
