Description

A flavorful and nutritious one-skillet meal that combines ground turkey with vibrant vegetables, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced (yellow or white)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 zucchinis, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz, drained)
  • 1 tsp oregano (dried)

Instructions

  1. Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and crumble in the ground turkey. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until nicely browned and no longer pink.
  3. Toss in the chopped zucchinis and diced bell pepper. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften.
  4. Pour in the drained diced tomatoes and sprinkle with oregano. Stir well, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Before serving, check seasoning and adjust with salt or pepper as necessary. Serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the vegetables or spices to your liking. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
