I was prepared.. or so I thought. I didn't have the ingredients I needed for what was planned on menu, but I had a back-up plan for baked chicken. Unfortunately, when I got home, the chicken didn't smell so good. I don't mess with weird smelling meat so I was stressing about what in the world we were going to eat. No rice, no beans, no chicken, all my ground turkey is frozen and I'm down to 2 bags of frozen veggies. I did have a package of turkey link sausage... and whole wheat pasta... and a bag of frozen mixed veggies... Something I left off my staple list - marinades. They are super cheap and a great for adding flavor to a quick stir fry.
Turkey Pasta Something
Turkey Link Sausage
1 clove garlic, minced
Whole wheat pasta, cooked
1 bag of frozen veggies (stir fry mix is best)
Olive oil cooking spray
A flavored marinade
Put all ingredients, except the marinade, in a skillet. Heat through. Add marinade.**
Note about marinades - VERY high in sodium. They also tend to have MSG. If you have an allergy to MSG just find a marinade that doesn't have it or make your own with olive oil and spices. I also use only half of the serving size. What's great about them is the variety of flavor and, if you like one marinade and your husband likes another, then you can add the flavor you like after you put the pasta in your bowl.
