Asian Turkey Cabbage Stirfry

Asian Turkey Cabbage Stirfry It’s a new year and I am excited to share some healthy recipes your family will love, and so will your diets! This Asian Turkey Stirfry is a recipe to help you keep up your healthy eating goals. I am not great at sticking to strange fad diets, but I do know when I eat lean meats, plenty of fruits and veggies, whole grains, I feel a lot better. Sadly, sugar will forever and always be the death of my diets. I have such a home-baked sweet tooth. If I could stay out of the kitchen and stop baking, I would make things a little easier for my waistline. That being said, I still love coming up with fresh, whole food recipes and have an amazing one for you today!

Asian Turkey Cabbage Stirfry

My family has grown to love ground turkey over the years. Several years ago they used to whine and complain if I used ground turkey instead of beef. However, I know a 93% lean ground turkey is a healthier option than red meat. So, I tend to cook mostly with turkey lately and we love it. I wanted to switch things up a little tonight, so I came up with this Asian Turkey and Cabbage Stirfry that was amazing. Not to mention, it was so, extremely simple. It took less time than the rice did to cook. Twenty minutes tops and dinner is on the table.
