​Add this as one of your meals to prep for the work week.

I package of lean ground turkey
3/4 Cup of diced red onions and bell peppers
1/3 cup low sodium marinara sauce
1 Cup of raw spinach
Seasonings: parsley, basil, garlic, onion and pinch of pepper and salt
Suggested Carbs: Couscous  
1 Tbsp olive oil ( optional for couscous)
Fruit (optional) Pineapple and or papaya slices 
Utensils:
Muffin Pan

Set oven to 405 degrees
Season ground turkey with your choice of seasonings. Add in your choice of diced veggies.
Lightly spray your muffin pan with Coconut Oil or Olive Oil. Place the ground turkey inside of the muffin holders. Depending on how big your muffin pan is and your singular serving, you may have to use 2 muffin holders for each serving.
Top each serving with 1 Tbs marinara sauce.

Lean Turkey Chipotle Bowl

Another quick and easy meal to prep for your work week. Notice, in the first picture, only a few items are needed. You could cook quinoa instead of rice, if you prefer.  At times I'll add beans and right before I'm ready to eat I'll top with balsamic vinaigrette. The middle picture shows all the ingredients cooked and packaged separately. I usually keep them stored separately as shown and then the morning of work I'll pack for lunch; pictured far right.
Ingredients:
One package of Lean Turkey
Spinach
Small Avocado
Tomatoes
Beans
Rice or Quinoa 
Salt and Pepper to taste

Packed meal: 1 Cup of lean turkey, 1/2 Cup of chopped spinach, chopped tomatoes, 1/4 Cup of beans, 1/4 Cup of rice or quinoa and only a 1/4 of an avocado. Mix all ingredients and top with balsamic vinaigrette dressing right before eating.

Just to show you how easy it truly is, I've attached my video.

I found this recipe on the internet and decided to put it to the test. It looked simple enough and the ingredients sounded pretty good. I was real pleased and wanted to share with you. 
This Chicken, Broccoli Casserole with Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise is a heart healthier version and tastes amazing. 
 The recipe is listed below along with my video to show just how easy it is and how it's the perfect meal for your lunches this week. 
I like baking in the mason jars because it's easier to reheat while at work; not to mention, they are very pretty! However, you can also bake this in a casserole dish.
​
I used low sodium chicken broth, brown rice; not both and panko crumbs. 
Ingredients for up to 4 servings:
  • 15oz cooked chicken breast
  • 1 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup chicken broth (add more if you find it too dry but be careful not to make it “soupy”)
  • 1 cup reduced fat mozzarella
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa & brown rice mix
  • 2 cups raw broccoli chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • ~1/2 cup crushed amaranth flakes or wheat breadcrumbs or panko crumbs
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste
Quick Steps:
  1. Set oven to 375F.
  2. Cook chicken breast in a nonstick skillet with no seasoning. Tear into pieces and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix chicken, broccoli, brown rice, red onions, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, mozzarella and Italian seasoning
  4. Evenly divide among the jars or a large casserole dish.
  5. Top with wheat breadcrumbs or amaranth flakes. Bake for 25 minutes at 375F.
     By the way; I always have the meat department cube my chicken for me. Ask, they'll be glad to do it for you.
