There are days when you need a good combination of veggies and protein to satiate yourself and to get energy for the day. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold outside, summer or winter, when you are feeling hungry and you need energy, you can’t survive on a salad or light snacks.

However, that doesn’t mean you have to eat unhealthily.

For days like these, keep this recipe handy. It’s full of high-quality carbohydrates, which feed your intestinal flora, and soft proteins, from turkey. Plus a variety of vegetables cooked over a low heat. 

You may think it will take a long time to prepare a dish like this, but it doesn’t! In less than an hour, it will be ready to eat. Enjoy your meal!
