Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Brown up the ground turkey in a large skillet on medium high heat.

Near the end of the 10 minutes, add frozen corn and chopped kale. Dish up and serve!

Notes:
Sharon suggests trying Rao’s Marinara sauce since they do not add any additional sugars. You can top this dish off with a dairy free cheese to make it extra.
