Simple Meal Prep Ideas

There’s nothing like a good meal prep idea to get everyone in the family in a good mood. Even your husband (or wife) will be on board as long as it makes dinner easier and even more delicious.

I’m a big fan of having meal prep containers on hand because it makes my cooking process go a lot more smoothly but that’s totally up to you and your preference.

Since you’re going to be using ground turkey for all of these recipes, make certain that you keep you eyes peeled for a sale! If you see ground turkey cheap, stock up and freeze for later.

The Importance of Using Meal Prep Recipes

When you meal prep, you’re planning ahead. And this is why these ground turkey meal prep recipes are great for your sanity and home. The more that you can prep, the better.

A lot of these ground turkey meal prep recipes use the same ingredients so it might be smart to stock up on items such as:

  • Olive oil
  • Cauliflower rice
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Green beans
  • Green onions
  • Lettuce wraps
  • Sesame oil
  • Red onion
  • Black beans

And more. We make a lot of Mexican meal prep recipes so we like to keep taco meal prep bowls on hand as well as taco meat seasoning, too. Turkey taco recipes are so good! (and if you want to stay low carb you can use lettuce wraps easily as well)

Are you ready to learn how to prep a healthy ground turkey meal? Below are some of the best ground turkey meal prep recipes that you can easily do at home.

Side dish options to pair with these meal prep ideas

Some people like to eat brown rice with their meals while others prefer a nice big sweet potato as well. When you meal prep the main dish ahead of time, you’ll have time to think about side dishes like sweet peas and other simple dishes.

I would think that the most popular is something to do with a sweet potato because it balances out the sweetness with the other great flavors. But in my opinion, there’s more than one side dish option to pair up!
