Is Ground Turkey Actually Healthy?
The answer is YES, it is actually healthy and a good source of protein for you. As a cancer survivor, one way I manage risk is by eating good-quality meat. Ground turkey is a good alternative to red meat, which is associated with a higher risk of cancer. Turkey is also lower in saturated fat, which benefits the heart and cholesterol levels. Plus, it contains vitamins, minerals, and proteins; all valuable for optimal health. However, the quality and where you get your ground turkey matter!

Ingredients to make an elevated ground turkey and broccoli dinner
Root Vegetable Puree
Do this part of the meal first. If you love a comforting cold-season classic like mashed potatoes, you’re going to love this root vegetable version! My recipe calls for carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, garlic, and golden beets. But if you can’t find golden beets, don’t worry, you can sub an apple instead. The important thing is to use a variety of root vegetables for maximum benefits, like fiber.
To make the root vegetable puree, first rough chop your root vegetables. Next, put them in a baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil. You’re going to roast these in the oven until tender, then allow them to cool.
Once cooled, puree them in a blender. This is a great time to bring up my love for my Vitamix blender! I use it daily for smoothies, soups, sauces, and more. It’s worth the up-front investment, and I will only ever use this professional-grade appliance. Can’t recommend enough!
Purchase a Vitamix Blender on Amazon.
Then you can scoop or pour the root vegetable puree out into a dish, which will become the base of our meal.
What Is The Best Way To Cook Ground Turkey?
You can simultaneously cook your broccoli (or broccolini) and ground turkey- that’s one of the benefits of this meal- it’s super quick! Steam your broccoli in one pan, and cook your ground turkey in a non-toxic skillet. Brown your meat with a little olive oil and drain off any excess fat. Don’t worry, we’re adding back flavor through the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ketchup, and seasonings. Both of these components will come together in just about 10 minutes!
I like to serve this meal to my family in large shallow bowls. Make sure you offer a generous helping of each food; they’re going to love it! This recipe easily doubles if you want to feed more people. Take pride in bringing something nutritious to the table, and enjoy this guilt-free, delicious dinner with your loved ones TODAY!
