Healthy Alterations: #fixthedish

• Use ground turkey
• Ground turkey is leaner and has more health benefits than ground beef. Experiment with any type of meat or make this dish vegetarian! 
• Make your own sauce
• Making your own sauce is much healthier than buying a canned, pre-made  sauce, and it's easy as well! 
• Brown Rice Noodles
• Brown rice noodles are a great alternative to your regular 'white' noodles, or even 'whole wheat' noodles, as the whole grain taste that kids(or adults) may be pesky about is hardly present. They are also full of health benefits! 

Turkey Fettuccine

On the lighter side:

Diced Turkey 

Noodles

Pasta can be nurtition if you lay low on the sodium, but throw in vegetables and fruit to not only make a better taste, but a healthier dish. My sister loves a good pasta dish before a soccer game or tournament to keep her energy going for a long time. Why not try a new pasta dish for a big race? Try and make it lean with some lean turkey, every dish can surely be customized. Put your own touch on it and let us know over social media or in the comments how you make a dish your own.
