An easy meal with lots of leftovers, and you only have to wash one pot? Sign me up. This taco turkey whole wheat pasta is healthy, filling, and satisfying.
There's a whole lotta flavors going on in here. I even got away with using extra lean ground turkey to cut more calories and you couldn't even tell. One serving is a generous cup full and all of the protein and complex carbs will fill you up and keep you going.
It's perfect on its own or you can add cheese, parsley, cilantro, or whatever you want! Enjoy!
