# Ingredients:
→ Liquids & Toppings
01 -
120 ml chicken broth
02 -
40 g grated Parmesan cheese
→ Seasonings
03 -
0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
04 -
1 teaspoon black pepper
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
→ Main Ingredients
07 -
3 cloves garlic
08 -
1 medium onion
09 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
10 -
2 medium zucchinis
11 -
500 g ground turkey
# Instructions:
01 -
Take a taste. Add a bit more salt, pepper, or some chili if you want a kick. Dish it up right away. Top with more Parmesan if that's your thing.
02 -
Toss the Parmesan in and give everything a good stir so the cheese melts and sticks to the turkey and squash.
03 -
When the zucchini's just right and most of the liquid’s gone, sprinkle the Parmesan all over the skillet.
04 -
Pour in the broth and stir it all together. Turn down the heat and let it bubble a bit so the flavors mesh, just a few minutes.
05 -
After your veggies go in, shake in some oregano, salt, black pepper, and your spicy pepper flakes.
06 -
Throw the zucchini pieces into your skillet. Mix it up and let 'em cook a little, just until they’re tender but still have bite.
07 -
While turkey's in the pan, give your zucchinis a rinse. Cut off the tips, slice 'em longways, then chop into half-moon bits.
08 -
Drop the turkey into the skillet. Using your spoon, break it up and cook until it’s totally browned, with no pink left, maybe 7 minutes.
09 -
Mix in the chopped garlic and let it sizzle for half a minute until you can really smell it.
10 -
Peel those garlic cloves and chop them up tiny.
11 -
Once the onion is cut up, add to the hot pan. Cook it for a couple minutes until it goes soft and looks kind of see-through.
12 -
Take the peel off the onion and dice it up nice and small.
13 -
Pour the olive oil into a big skillet and get it warm over a medium flame.
# Notes:
01 -
If there’s lots of broth, the food might turn out a bit watery since zucchinis leak juice as they cook.
02 -
You can swap out chicken broth for veggie broth or even a splash of dry white wine if you want a different vibe.
03 -
If you want zucchini with more bite, sauté it separately and stir it in at the end.
04 -
To really get that good melt and boost the taste, go for fresh grated Parmesan if you can.
05 -
Finishing with a squeeze of lemon makes everything pop and taste extra fresh.
