Turkey and Quinoa Bake

I wanted to try another dish using something other than chicken, that cooked up just as fast. So I decided to use Turkey Cutlets. Just as good and easy to prepare. The only issue with them is they need to be added with things that have a lot of flavor. So here is what I did...

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 Package of Turkey Cutlets Diced
1 Can crushed tomatoes
1 TBSP Italian Seasoning
1/2 cup Broccoli
1/2 Cup Zucchini
1 TBSP olive oil
1-2 TBSP Parmesan Cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make sure to cook up your quinoa using 2 cups liquid to 1 cup Quinoa. While that is cooking up dice your cutlets and place them in a large baking dish coated with your olive oil. Place the turkey, broccoli, and Zucchini into the dish and top with the diced tomato, seasoning, and 1 TBSP of cheese. Stir all together and place into the oven for 40 minutes. When the turkey is cooked and vegetables are tender, remove from the oven and add your quinoa. Stir again, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.

Fit Cuisine Notes:

This is a great complete gluten free dish that can be made in advance and reheated or served that day. I made a large enough portion to use for my husbands lunch the next few days. If you are not a fan of the vegetables used then try your or the family favorites. You can also omit the quinoa if that is not your thing, or use chicken, tofu, whatever as well.....makes and excellent side dish without the turkey.
