Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley or grated cheese
Instructions
- Begin by washing and slicing the zucchinis, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano during cooking.
- Add the diced onion, chopped red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Stir in the sliced zucchini and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley or grated cheese if desired. Serve hot, straight from the skillet.
Notes
- Use lean ground turkey for a lower-fat option.
- Add chili powder or cumin to enhance flavor.
- Finish with fresh herbs for vibrant taste.
- Cook zucchini until just tender to avoid mushiness.
