Southwest Turkey Bulgur Dinner image

In the past few years, I've been trying to incorporate more whole grains in our dinners. Bulgur is one of my favorite grains to work with because of its quick cooking time. Besides being high in fiber and rich in minerals, it has a mild, nutty flavor that my kids enjoy. -Maria Vasseur, Valencia, California
