Time to prep

Ingredients: 

*lean ground turkey 

*any veggies you want (i used green peppers & onions)

*extra virgin olive oil

* taco seasoning 

Directions: 

*cut the amount of  veggies you want 

*place ground turkey in mixing bowl

*add a little evoo to your turkey

*add veggies

*start by adding 1/2 packet of seasoning (depending on how much seasoning you will want)

*add a little evoo to the pan and cook (you can use a grill, but it was too chilly for me to do that)

Something simple and quick. Different from your everyday burger, all because I was bored one night.
