Looking for an easy meal? This easy ground turkey with greens dish can be made in 15 minutes!
I’ve been a terrible mother over the last few weeks.
Between Christmas parties, holiday get-togethers and being so tired from said events, I can count the number of times I’ve cooked for my family in the past month on one hand.
What can I say? Things got pretty busy around here.
With the holidays almost behind us, it’s time to get back on a regular schedule. The days of eating out or ordering in are over and Mama’s getting back in the kitchen.
Thanks to my stash of simple recipes, I won’t be in there for long, though!
Here’s the thing, I don’t mind cooking.
I actually enjoy getting compliments for creating delicious meals for my family.
Between my job, my business, and being my children’s chauffeur, I just don’t have a lot of time to create those yummy meals.
I’ve become the master of the quick dinner, and can create a complete meal, from scratch, in 20 minutes from start to finish.
It’s not hard. My number one tip is to look for shortcuts.
When I go grocery shopping, I do things like purchasing veggies that are already washed and chopped.
I make sure I always have a cabinet stocked with staples and seasoning, and I pick up easy to prepare items like quick cooking rice and pasta.
Speaking of shortcuts, this recipe for Hearty Turkey and Greens with Rice is one of my go-to’s for a quick meal that’s delicious and fills you up.
Try it out and let me know what you think!

I love cooking as well, but as my kids older we get busier and busier. Fast and easy to cook meals are becoming a necessity around these parts now. Will have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing!
