Chinese Green Beans with Ground Turkey & Rice

Jennifer Ann

Since B has been home, I’ve had to get back in the groove of meal prepping since I’m not just fending for myself anymore. 🙂 I was looking to try something new with ground turkey, and stumbled upon this delicious recipe on Pinterest(<3) AND happened to have all the ingredients on hand! Winning!!

A few changes I made from the recipe: I cooked the rice in our rice cooker, which I’ve tried to move away from using but makes perfect rice every time. (I don’t know about you but making any rice not from a box never turns out well for me.)

I also added red pepper flakes for color and didn’t have fresh ginger so used ginger paste (which I LOVE and use all the time). Overall, this turned out great and I’ll definitely add it to the rotation.

Oh, and I’m at work so will upload my own cooking pictures when I get home 🙂

mangia!
