A quick and healthy one-pan meal made with lean ground turkey and tender zucchini, flavored with garlic, oregano, and paprika. Perfect for a low-carb, high-protein dinner.

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium zucchinis, sliced or diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup chicken broth (or water)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Shredded cheese for topping (mozzarella or Parmesan)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.
  3. Add sliced zucchini, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broth evaporates and everything is well combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and allow it to melt before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For extra veggies, you can add bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes.

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes, chopped jalapeños, or hot sauce.

Substitute ground turkey with ground chicken, beef, or plant-based ground meat for variety.

For added flavor, try different seasonings like Italian seasoning, cumin, or thyme.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
