Author Jackie Newgent loves flexitarian recipes—dishes that can be made with meat or without. "This scrumptious whole-grain side is inspired by classic 'dirty' rice," she says. "Thank you, Louisiana! My version is made with a well-seasoned ground turkey mixture and beans. You can make a vegan version of this, too. Replace the ground turkey with 8 ounces finely chopped mushrooms of choice along with 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper—and use the vegetable broth, of course. If you wish, serve a larger portion as an entrée."

This classic Thanksgiving side dish gets a diabetes-friendly makeover, without losing any of its rich, savory flavor.

It also holds up well, so you can make a big batch to keep on hand to add to salads, soups, or use in place of rice. Wheat berries normally take a long time to cook (and dried black beans, too), but in this recipe, you can cook them together in the Instant Pot and cut their cooking time in half!
