Turkey and Broccoli
(This has an Asian flavor and based on the Asian Beef and Broccoli recipe in the It Starts With Food book)
 ½ Onion (diced)
1 cup zucchini (diced)
I cup broccoli (cut in small pieces)
1 lb Turkey
¼ teasp. ground ginger
¼ teasp. ground cinnamon


Sauté onion in olive oil, add ground turkey and cook/brown (you may need to drain it). Add salt and pepper. Put aside the turkey and in another pan sauté zucchini and broccoli in olive oil. Add ground turkey/onion and spices.
Note: Servings depend on how much you want to eat. The guide is 1-2 times the palm of your hand for protein on the Whole 30 plan. This probably equals four palm sizes.
