I make this recipe a lot on Christmas Eve on the off years, meaning when our children are at their in-laws, and it’s just my husband and I home for dinner. What’s nice is that there is always leftovers, so I don’t have to worry about what we’re having for the next week. We finish up the Christmas dinner leftovers and have these leftovers in between.

Recipe Notes

To make this healthier you can use ground turkey breast in place of the ground turkey.

If using canned store bought broth be sure to check the ingredients, a lot of canned broth adds wheat flour.
