Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small yellow onion, diced

1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh chopped parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika.

2. Push the turkey aside and add onion and garlic. Saute for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. Stir in zucchini, bell peppers, and corn. Cook 5-7 minutes until veggies soften but still have a slight crunch.

4. Add cherry tomatoes and spinach. Cook 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.

5. Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan if using, and garnish with herbs. Serve hot as-is or over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

Do not overcook the zucchini; add it after the onion and garlic so it stays crisp-tender.

Use any mix of vegetables you have on hand, like mushrooms or kale, to make this an easy dinner with flexible ingredients.

For extra flavor, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
