Recipe: Turkey and Quinoa Bake

This delicious turkey and quinoa bake makes a great weeknight meal and will surely satisfy you!  And though it’s only June, keep this in mind for Thanksgiving (if you’re making this with Thanksgiving leftovers in the fall, all you’ll need to do is to cook the vegetables (if you’re not using leftover sides, that is)).
