Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Ground Turkey Breast

  • 2.5 Cups Brown Rice and/or Quinoa
  • Sunflower and/or Pepita Seeds about 3 Tbsp per salad
  • Pink Sea Salt (as desired)

Instructions

  • Fill each of your five meal-prep containers with a handful of spinach (approximately 1 cup per container). I typically tear the spinach into smaller pieces, and then place the spinach into one side of the meal prep container.

  • Pre-cook ground turkey breast to your liking. I use sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. But sometimes I just use pink sea salt and Mrs. Dash! Allow to completely cool before placing into the container. Approximately 2/3 cup will be divvied into each container.

  • After preparing your rice and/or quinoa (I use an instant brown rice and quinoa mixture), let completely cool, and then place 1/2 cup into each container.

  • Be sure that all ingredients are completely cooled before adding them to the containers. For example you don't want to have spinach and warm rice in a container together as it will cause the spinach to become limp.
  • When ready to eat this salad, you can eat it cold, or remove the spinach and seeds, heat the remaining ingredients for 90 seconds, and enjoy your salad that way.
