Chicken & Turkey Sausage w/sauteed veggies (w/optional brown rice)

A 21 day fix approved/clean (or close enough) review and recipe. (Yield 5-6 servings)

This is my favorite recipe for bulk lunches. Why? Because you can add different sauces at the bottom of the jar to make it taste very different. I like to eat this like a mixed up casserole, but you could pack it in containers with separators, too. I also like to mix the cauliflower rice with rice for a little more carb/bulk midday, but it would taste the same without it if you are saving yellows (carbs) for dinner/wine. It freezes well and I just never get sick of it.

If you are “fixing” - Each serving is 1.5 Red (protein) , 1.5 Green (veggies), .5 (optional) Yellow (carb)
