A fast, healthy, and satisfying one-pan meal featuring ground turkey and tender zucchini, finished with melted Parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey (93 to 99 percent lean)
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (or low-sodium broth)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Crumble the ground turkey into the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.
  5. Sliced the zucchinis into half-moons and add to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Season with oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and coats the mixture.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve immediately.

Notes

If using extra-lean turkey, add a splash more broth or olive oil to prevent dryness. Substitute summer squash for zucchini if necessary.
