Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey 93% lean
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper any color
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz, undrained
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Stir in garlic, oregano, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in diced tomatoes (with juice) and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally over rice, quinoa, or with crusty bread.

Notes

For extra flavor, stir in a handful of fresh parsley or basil before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This recipe is easily customizable—swap in your favorite veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or carrots.
