Easing the struggles of nutrition

I've always found ground turkey to be a pretty versatile protein when it comes to meal my planning. 93/7 is what I usually get. Some of the ways I've used this are:
-Straight grounded and browned in a skillet, then mixed with vegetables
-Weighed out to 4 or 5oz slider sized patties for turkey burgers w/fresh avocado
-Japanese Bbq marinated 4oz meatballs
-Straight grounded and used in spaghetti
I used to only eat the turkey ground and mixed with broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. It was boring and bland after a week, but I struggled with nutrition.
Eventually, I made it easier on myself by taking my main protein items; Tilapia, salmon, turkey, and sometimes chicken, and creating 3 or 4 varieties for each protein. The vegetables generally remain the same for me, with the exception of sometimes adding in spinach and asparagus. This method makes it interesting and fun for me. So if you struggle with ideas, don't be afraid to take whatever you have now, and saucing it up by being creative!
Best of luck to us all!!! Do work!
