Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground turkey
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it’s no longer pink and starts to brown.
Once the turkey is cooked through, add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir to evenly coat the turkey and vegetables with the spices.
Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
