'Because Eating Healthy Doesn't Have To Suck.......'

Featuring: Italian Sloppy Joes

Starring: Ground Turkey

I think that pretty much explains it. There is this notion that eating healthy is foraging for twigs and berries in your back yard but on the contrary, it actually means eating balanced meals and eating in moderation. (by the way, this also means don't fear the bread in this recipe) I wanted to share this classic meal--and no, it's not made with ManWich.

This also opens up the opportunity to make an extra batch, store it in the fridge and when you need a quick meal, you can add a scoop or two onto a salad or as is with a veggie side.

Happy Eating ;)
