Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced into half-moons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened, then stir in garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Crumble in the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook 6–8 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Add zucchini slices and cook 4–5 minutes, just until they start to soften but still have a bit of bite.
  • Season with oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour in chicken broth, stir, and let it simmer on low for 3–4 minutes.
  • Finish with Parmesan, stirring until melted and combined. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.
