Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Turkey Mac w/ Whole Grain Bread

Today’s Menu: Velveeta Cheesy Turkey Mac w/ Whole Grain Bread

The one pot meals, you have to love them! I used Kraft/Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Dinner Kit/Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac. The dinner kit includes: Pasta, Velveeta Cheese Sauce, and Seasoning pack. All I had to do was add the 2 cups of water and 1 lb. of Ground Turkey. I used Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey. Using the Extra Lean Ground Turkey instead of the Ground Beef you can lower the calorie count by anywhere from 60 – 80 calories! As I browned the Turkey I added Sea Salt, Pepper, and Ground Smoked Cumin for seasoning. It’s ready in about 10 minutes. I then add 2 cups of water, the seasoning and pasta. Simmer for 11 – 13 minutes and add the Velveeta Cheese and your ready for dinner.  I’ll leave the instructions at the end of the post. It’s 350 calories and 27 carbs but you can lower the calorie count by using the Ground Turkey as stated above. I also had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert/snack later some Tostito's Whole Grain Scoops with Newman's Own Medium Chunky Black Bean & Corn Salsa.
