Ground turkey? I’ll be honest. I really wanted to name this dish something else, at least for purposes of this blog post, because if you are anything like me, you see ground turkey and you think bla-and. Get ready for a shocker. This green bean and ground turkey stir-fry is so good that I’ve made it twice. And it might be one of the easiest weeknight dinners that you can possibly make.
Read MoreMy husband came home from the grocery store the other day with red snapper and a selection of vegetables. “I thought we would have stir-fry,” he said.
What I should have said was, “Thank you, honey, for planning dinner and going to the store. That was so awesome!”
What I actually said was, “Fish stir-fry? Gross. Have you ever actually heard of fish stir-fry?”
Not my finest moment as a wife. Did I mention that I was napping when he went to the store? With the kids? Yep. Not my finest wife moment at all.

Then it came time to make stir-fry. In summer. What was I thinking? I almost didn’t do it. I mean, grill season is so short, right? I could just grill up those shrimps and asparagus and call it a day. I’m so glad I didn’t. This shrimp and asparagus stir-fry in lemon sauce is light, flavorful, and just the thing for a nice summer meal.
Read MoreRight off the bat, I’ve gone and changed things up in the menu line up this week. We came home on Friday to chicken and more chicken. I just couldn’t make chicken again last night, so switched it up with Tuesday’s yakisoba. Excellent choice. This meal was fast. We even forgot two ingredients, sent a runner to the store, and still had dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.
