Kale Pesto with Zoodles & Ground Turkey

It’s no secret that I love my Spiralizer. For some reason, I like certain vegetables when they are Spiralized, and only then. I could eat a giant bowl of Spiralized zucchini, but if you cut zucchini into chunks and roast it, it makes me want to puke. It’s slimy texture…blegh. The two main vegetables I’ve been Spiralizing are zucchini and sweet potato; I need to venture off and try more of a variety soon!

I just said the word Spiralize way too many times.

Something else I’m obsessed with? Kale. YEAH I KNOW, I’m a little late. Okay, a lot late. But, truth be told, I used to hate kale. I thought it was bitter and I hated its consistency. For some reason, that’s changed. This happens to me a lot. I used to HATE tomatoes, now I love them. I used to LOVE asparagus, now I can’t stand its taste. Kale is, in my opinion, so much more flavorful than spinach. It’s such an easy way for me to get my greens in. All I do is chop up some garlic, add some extra virgin olive oil to a pan, and saute the kale until it’s wilted.

This recipe was super easy, and definitely a great meal to make on a Sunday to prepare for the week ahead.

    Omgosh this looks so good. Isn’t so funny how important texture is?
    I love me some kale but the key is either cooking it or if you’re eating it raw to massage is (ha ha what a diva veggie?!) I don’t dislike spinach it’s just not the most exciting of the veg
