Some nights, I just want to pull together something simple with what I already have on hand. Last night, that meant ground turkey and roasted Brussels sprouts—a little nod to autumn with hearty flavors and a touch of warmth. I kept it low-carb and low in saturated fat, but still filling and satisfying, the way a cozy bowl should be. This one’s quick, easy, and a perfect fit for a diabetic-friendly meal that doesn’t feel like it’s missing a thing.
