    Turkey Sausage and Rapini Pasta Recipe

    By 84 Comments2 Mins Read

    With my recent healthy eating plan I've been looking for a light and lean source of protein and one of my favorites is Turkey!  Not only is it packed with vitamins and essential nutrients but we're also making a healthy choice for the family.

    Turkey is easy to grill and can easily find ground meat, burgers and sausages at your local grocery store.  I love using the ground as a substitute while making Mexican dishes and homemade meatballs.  It wasn't just a simple change and I was always looking for healthy choices in our everyday meals while keeping things tasty and exciting.

    Canadian Turkey

    Here are a few tips to help you incorporate Canadian Turkey into your meal plan:

    • Turkey is a great substitute in chili, fajitas, sloppy joes, gyros, cabbage rolls, spaghetti and the list goes on
    • I always prep my pan with olive oil or coconut oil as Turkey is lean and easily sticks to the pan
    • Substitute Turkey for equal amount of meat protein in recipe

    Still need a delicious and nutrient-packed recipe idea?  You're going to love Turkey Sausage and Rapini Pasta!  This dish is delicious served with a fresh green salad, sliced veggies and a baguette.

      The Oven-Baked Turkey Fingers look awesome because of their versatility; the kids would love them, we could have them for lunches or dinners, & have fun dipping them in different sauces!

      I would like to try to make the Hawaiian Turkey Kebobs. Never did a kebob before and I think this would be delicious.
