Description

A quick, flavorful, and healthy ground turkey skillet packed with veggies and perfect for a weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: shredded cheese, fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. This is where the magic begins! The oil helps to sauté the onions and garlic, giving the base of your dish a delicious flavor. Let it heat for about a minute.

2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they start to soften and turn golden. The aroma will fill your kitchen and make you hungry!

3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for flavor; don’t rush it! You want those lovely brown bits to develop.

4. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything in those delicious spices. Then, fold in the spinach. It will wilt quickly, adding a vibrant green color and tons of nutrients!

5. Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes, making sure the spinach is fully wilted and the flavors meld together. If you’re feeling indulgent, sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last minute of cooking.


Notes

Feel free to add any leftover vegetables you need to use up; they’ll blend right in!
