Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by prepping your vegetables: slice the zucchinis and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside for easy access during cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano, and cook until browned and cooked through. Break apart the meat with a spatula as it cooks. Once done, remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the sliced zucchini and cook until tender but still vibrant, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. For extra flavor, drizzle in some seasoned sauces or add your favorite herbs. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.
- Use fresh zucchini and high-quality ground turkey for optimal flavor and texture.
- For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or enjoy as is.
