- Freezer Friendly: Freeze the turkey mixture in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Low-Carb Option: Skip the buns and serve over lettuce wraps, baked potatoes, or even rice.
- Extra Veggies: Finely chopped zucchini or mushrooms can easily be added for additional nutrients.
