I rarely eat red meat. I substitute many recipes that call for ground beef with ground turkey because of its low fat content. Since ground turkey was all I had in the freezer, that’s what I decided to make this recipe with. It came out fantastic! Moist delicious and very flavorful. I didn’t even miss the beef in this recipe at all.

This recipe came about as I was scrounging around my kitchen for dinner ideas, with not much to choose from. It was one of those days when I just didn’t feel like going grocery shopping and was determined to create something tasty with what I had. Lemons, chicken and pasta were the first things I grabbed. From there, I just winged it until I created this tasty dish!

Last night for dinner I planned on making chicken & rice. Since I don’t do boring rice, I usually flavor it with chicken broth, herbs and garlic to help give the rice a little pizazz. Unfortunately, I was out of chicken broth. So, I scavenged my kitchen for ideas. That’s when I found it: margarita mix. I used the same recipe below not only to marinade the chicken, but to flavor the rice. The end result: delicious.
