At one point, I decided to try to eat gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. It lasted about one week, but I discovered some of my favourite recipes, including ground turkey chop suey.
Dinner was always the meal I would struggle with because dairy is in almost everything. A lot of recipes call for milk, sour cream, Greek yogurt, or cheese. I used to put cheese on almost everything I cooked.
Gluten-free Ground Turkey Chop Suey
Eliminating gluten was easier because I did go gluten-free for a little over a year at one time. So, for anyone out there with food allergies or looking to really clean up their eating habits, this is a GREAT recipe to try.
You will be amazed at how delicious this dish is! This has become one of my favourite go-to dinners to prepare. The flavour combination is fantastic. Give it a try!
