Turkey & Butternut Burrito Bowl
August 16, 2019This recipe is a twist on a burrito bowl that uses healthy carbs and healthy fats to help satisfy your craving for Mexican food or even noodle dishes without sacrificing flavor. A fiesta bowl for your taste buds! You can substitute the turkey with ground beef, bison or ground chicken. You can also substitute the butternut squash with a yam or a sweet potato. I like the squash because it stays a little crunchy. Do not forget the lime it really brightens the dish and offsets the sweetness of the squash.
