This tasty dish replaces regular pepperoni with turkey pepperoni to make things a bit healthier but don’t worry, your picky little eater won’t even notice.
60. Slow Cooked Frugal Japanese Turkey Noodles (Recipe This) – While you don’t actually use a wok to make this quick healthy turkey recipe, it might be a fun candidate for Wok Wednesday.
