Healthy Turkey Skillet

This one skillet dish is so easy to make, healthy, delicious and something the whole family will love.

It’s a full meal in one but you can also add a vegetable and grain, if you choose.

Ingredients:

1 pound 99% lean ground turkey

1 medium zucchini, chopped

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic

2 Tbsp tomato paste

3/4 cup canned beans, rinsed (I’ve used kidney, black and garbanzo and all work well)

3/4 cup canned corn, drained

1 small tomato, diced

1 jalapeno, diced

2 tsp cumin (or more to taste)

2 tsp salt (or more to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Spray a non stick pan with oil and wipe off excess.

Add chopped onions and garlic to the pan and sautee for a few minutes.

Add raw ground turkey and cook through (about 5 minutes) Season with cumin and salt.

Add zucchini, tomato paste, chopped tomato, beans, corn and jalapeno. Mix and cook on low for a few minutes. Add fresh cilantro and season with more cumin and salt to taste (if needed)
