✅ WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
This recipe is built around my “Protein Test.” A protein source passes if it contains 240 calories or fewer per 24g of protein AND has less than 4g of saturated fat per 4 oz. 94/6 lean ground turkey passes with flying colors. Black beans and sweet potato add slow-digesting carbs, serious fiber, and micronutrients that keep you full and support long-term health.
