I had dreams of buttery, spicy, and sweet noodles and this recipe fit the bill! I initially wanted something that could be eaten like a meal in of itself but that would have meant cluttering up these simple noodles with unecessary flavors and textures and I just couldn’t stand for that. So I present these as a simple side which are quick as a flash that are perfect hot or cold, and would go along with just about any grilled protein and sauteed greens. Or heck, just make it for meal prep! [ 301 calories per serving, 46.4 g Carbs, 9.1 g Fat, 8.4 g Protein]

So this cheeseburger salad came to me on a whim one day when I was craving a very specific burger from Izzy’s Burger Spa in South Lake Tahoe, California. I live in Sacramento which is about two hours away from Izzy’s and I have to occasionally remind myself that it would be crazy to drive two hours just to eat a burger, but this place has the best burgers I have had in my life. It’s a place with good prices and no frill burgers. I have to stop talking about them now because suddenly 2 hours doesn’t seem so far!
This ground turkey recipe is jam packed with flavor thanks to one main ingredient. The Chipotle chili pepper adds a tremendous amount of smoky sweet flavor that really makes this turkey recipe special. It tastes delicious for meal prep whether you put it on rice bowls, in salads, tacos or even in quesadillas.
I am not big meat eater and usually turkey was only something I ate when my family celebrated Thanksgiving. Within the past few years though my boyfriend was really looking for cheaper, leaner meats to add to his diet and he started eating a lot of ground turkey. He’d liberally douse it in worcestershire and a mix of spices and bake it for his meal prep. I kid you not he ate it that way for over a YEAR (more like years, if I am being honest). That is like food torture for me so I can’t even imagine doing that. So I kinda (lovingly) pushed him into trying new recipes and he found one that has stood the test of time.
SIDENOTE: Can we talk about the word “worcestershire”, I mean that is just a WORD ya know. Like it has a certain way about it… A way about it that is annoying because I can never remember how to spell it.
Peach Pie overnight oats with tons of peachy flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness. This makes such a filling breakfast yet the recipe is under 300 calories!
