We wrote an in-depth blog post about the turmeric here, but wanted to make it easy for you to grab our favorite recipe that contains turmeric.
It takes less than 30 minutes, so it’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner for the family. I even made if for a family member that HATES beans and she not only finished her plate, she asked for the recipe. I call that success!
