I took some leftover quinoa pilaf and added black beans and ground turkey. It made an excellent one-dish meal that hits the table in a hurry. I found it was a good way to use up the leftovers from another dinner. We have the pilaf as a side dish for the two of us, and it is always too much. Adding ground turkey and black beans makes another unique meal that is quick to prepare. Enjoy!
This was a tasty recipe. I used a tri color quinoa and doubled the carrot and spinach... think it could have used more. I added a little spice to mine with Sriracha. Worked great by itself and as a burrito filling

Delicious and easy to make. I sautéed garlic in with the onion, doubled the veggies and added chopped cilantro. I also cooked in a splash of Chalula. We will make again!!

Altered this recipe a bit to fit what we had at the house. Browned about a pound and a half of ground turkey, and set aside. I then sautéed an onion in some coconut oil, added an entire box of herb & garlic Near East quinoa & pilaf, the amount of water the box called for, the seasoning mix included with the quinoa/pilaf mixture, pepper, and cooked according to the directions in this recipe. I then added two tomatoes cut into chunks and a thawed box of frozen spinach. After cooking for a few minutes, I added the ground turkey and a can of seasoned black beans that I did not drain or rinse. After all the liquid was absorbed, dinner was served. My husband, daughter, and unborn child all absolutely loved it!

I used freekeh instead of quinoa. Also, I used chickpeas instead of black beans. The recipe is very delicious. I was looking for a recipe that incorporated a grain like quinoa and ground meat, such as turkey.

This dish was delicious! My whole family loved it. I didn't have a tomato so substituted with a can of diced tomatoes. I was confused about the addition of the bouillon so just used 1 cube of a chicken bouillon and it was perfect. Added a little mozzie for my kids, who ate 2 & 3 servings each...with no complaints!

Very yummy! I also added more spinach and also put in mushrooms and a can of diced tomatoes. It needed more salt in my opinion and we also added some Tapaito sauce to spice it up. Definitely a keeper.

We thought this recipe was wayyyy too peppery. It may have been because we used onion powder instead of real onions, who knows. But we may try it again and just add pepper to taste!

A family favorite now. I use Turkey Bone Broth or just Turkey Broth vs water & bouillon. I use a drained can of original Rotel vs tomato. Sometimes I substitute 1/2 bag-1 full bag fzn spinach. I grate my carrot finely and let it cook in with the quinoa to make it softer.
