Suggested Side Dishes:
If your nutrition plan permits it, some whole-grain toast (Nature's Own Double Fiber,for example) makes a great addition.

The Dude Recommends:
  • Use regular ground turkey, not ground turkey breast: you want the meat to brown, and ground turkey breast never quite gives a browned appearance due to its lean nature.
  • Substitute sage for thyme. Personally, I think that it gives more of a sausage-like aroma to the dish.
Reminder:
Never eat anything that your doctor has prohibited from your diet, or to which you have an allergy or intolerance.
