  • Author: Katherine

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchinis, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Cook the Ground Turkey: Stir in the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Stir in the Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and mix well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the skillet hot, optionally topped with grated cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
