Turkey & Veggie Skillet
One Pan + 20 minutes = Dinner Done
This meal comes together easily and is easy to customize with your favorite seasonings and flavors.
If you’re following my Plate Method for weight loss, this recipe will easily help you fill your plate 75% full of veggies. The rest should be your lean ground meat.
Kid-Friendly Mod: Serve it deconstructed - with 1 piece of each ingredient. Serve with at least 1 safe food that you’re fairly confident they’ll eat to boost their bravery to try the rest of their meal. This would be a great meal to serve with rice / pasta / or mac n cheese if any of those are safe foods for your kiddos!
Ingredients:
1 onion (diced)
2 zucchini (diced)
2 c broccoli (chopped)
14 oz fire-roasted tomatoes
½ c shredded cheese
1 lb lean ground turkey
Garlic, cilantro, lime
Fave seasonings
Fave toppings/sauces
Steps:
In a medium pan over medium heat, sauté the onion for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant (~ 1 min).
Stir in the ground turkey and break up the meat as it cooks and season as desired. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add some oil along with the zucchini and broccoli. Cook until slightly tender (~ 4 mins).
Return your cooked ground meat back into the skillet, stirring in the tomatoes, seasonings, and half of the shredded cheese. Reduce heat to a medium, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly reduced.
Sprinkle the top with remaining cheese, and allow it to melt for a few minutes more. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges if you’re feeling fancy (which I wasn’t in this picture…).
