Method
 

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the whole grain noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Notes

For those looking to customize, try swapping ground turkey for ground chicken or even lentils for a vegetarian option!
If you're short on time, pre-cooked noodles can save you a few minutes.
This dish is perfect for meal prep – just keep the mint separate until serving, and it will stay fresh.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and gently reheat in a pan over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to keep things moist.
Enjoy the process and make it your own!
