I love easy and flavorful meals. Especially meals that I can prepared in around 30 minutes. Now if I can only remember to plan ahead and get the meat defrosting the day before, so it is actually ready when I need it.
The original recipe used ground beef and therefore beef broth, but like always I substituted the ground beef for ground turkey. Making that substitution always leaves me wondering what broth to use. Turkey broth is hard to find, I even have trouble finding it around Thanksgiving. I usually end up using chicken broth because that is the type of broth I use most often, although I have sometimes used vegetable broth, if I have some leftover that needs to be used up. When I went to make this recipe I actually had some leftover beef broth so I used that.
I could be wrong, but I feel like the beef broth added more flavor than chicken broth would have. Either way this dish is delicious and one I look forward to making again.
