This Turkey Taco Bake was never intended as a ‘recipe’, it was just a dish I kept throwing together to use up leftover vegetables in a quick and easy way! Now its one of our favourite quick and easy go-to recipes from Lean and Clean when we want a hot and filling dinner, but have no time or inclination to be in the kitchen for hours…
I’ve put together a recipe for you featuring the ingredients I typically use in this dish, but honestly anything goes – it’s a great way to use up leftover veggies and you can switch out the protein for ground beef or even canned lentils.
