Power Mac and Cheese Bowl

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• Basic Broccoli Rice (full recipe)
• 1 6.4 oz box Kaizen Mac & Cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter*
• ¼ cup heavy cream*
• 1lb ground turkey
• Finely ground sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Basic Broccoli Rice, set aside.
2. Cook the Kaizen Mac & Cheese according to package directions, using 1 tablespoon of butter* and ¼ cup of heavy cream*.
3. In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through.
4. In a large bowl or pan, combine the broccoli rice (use all or less, if desired), cooked mac and cheese, and ground turkey. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

• *I reduce the butter and heavy cream amounts from what’s listed on the Kaizen box. Using half the suggested amount for each still gives it a creamy texture while lightening things up.

• If you’d like to purchase through my Amazon affiliate link, the mac and cheese can be found here. Here’s Kaizen’s website if you’d like to check them out directly. I’m still testing out some of their other pasta products, but so far I love their mac and cheese as a tasty low-carb option. Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
