Like most people I struggle with consistently eating well. Not because I don’t want to or because I hate healthy food. I actually love many of the foods that are good for you. But when you get busy with life (whether single, married, working or a stay at home parent) it’s hard to make time to prepare the foods you really need to consume for maximum energy and health. Add to that the fact that sometimes we eat a lot of the foods that aren’t good for us because they soothe us emotionally.

BUT, what if I told you that you CAN consistently eat right and it can be tasty and not time consuming? AND that no matter what, I keep focus on the fact that when my nutrition isn’t right, I’m not right, and so I’ve learned a thing or two about making sure that I get good nutrition in on a regular basis.

Here’s the ingredients needed for ground turkey dirty rice:

1: Your herbs of choice. I choose: garlic powder (unsalted), onion (fresh or dried), basil, ground pepper, sea salt, red pepper. 2 tablespoons each, except red pepper. Red pepper only 1/2 teaspoon.

2: Cooking oil: I use olive (2 – 3 tablespoons)

3: Ground turkey : 1 – 3 pounds

4: 1 – 3 cups brown rice

Here’s the recipe for Ground turkey dirty rice

2: Cook rice in water with olive oil until tender

3: Once rice is done, you can add it to the cooked turkey along with the basil and red pepper.

4: If the pan is dry, add a little water. Sautee over low to medium heat for about 10 minutes.
