Minute Meal Prep | Turkey Pesto Salad
This is one of my favorite easy meals to prep for dinner thru the week that takes about 15 minutes to make, cooking and salad tossing included. Very low carb, high fat and good source of proteins and micronutrients before you head to bed. Personally I tend to avoid big carb-based meals in the evening because I would rather not spike my blood-glucose levels so close to sleep, and the fat:protein ratios in this meal help keep my appetite at bay with its naturally filling properties. Make no mistake this is a fine lunch as well if wanting to lose body fat through tapering carbs. This is still a 600 calorie meal, so make sure you’re not overeating in your other meals to stay in a negative-energy balance! Here is what you need and the macros associated:
5oz Arugula
5oz Sun-Dried Tomatoes (I didn’t use all of the oil in the jar, just the tomato slices)
7oz Pesto Sauce
1lb Ground Turkey, cooked
2 cups Edamame
1 cup Pine Nuts
Per Serving:
C: 10 P: 31 F: 48
Calories: 600
Good source of Vitamin A, C, Iron and Potassium
