Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey & Farro Meal Prep Bowl with farro, ground turkey, baby spinach and parmesan in a charcoal ceramic bowl

Sun-dried tomatoes and their oil give lean ground turkey the richness it lacks. Farro stays chewy through several days of reheating, unlike softer grains.

Why this recipe works

Cooking in the tomato oil flavors the whole pan. Farro's chew holds up to reheating.

Ingredient notes

Farro contains gluten.

Common mistakes

  • Overcooking the turkey.
  • Cooking the spinach too long.

What to serve with it

Fresh basil or red pepper flakes.

Meal prep
