When I’m looking for meals to make during the week, I don’t want it to be complicated. It’s important for me to find meals that not only taste good, but they will keep me feeling satisfied too. When doin that, it’s key to look at whether your meal has protein, fat and carbs in it. Making it a well balanced meal that will keep you fuller longer. This Turkey Rice Bowl is just that!
