ONE-DISH SPICY GROUND TURKEY AND SQUASH
This spicy dish is quick and easy to prepare and stores well in the fridge--it should also freeze and can well. I recommend serving this over rice for a super healthy meal, but it would be equally great over white rice or pasta. This is an excellent use for fresh squash or zucchini in season.
