Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1 minute until it shimmers.
- Peel and finely chop half of a medium onion while the oil heats. Add the chopped onion, sautéing it for 3-4 minutes until it turns soft and translucent.
- Peel and mince 2 garlic cloves. Toss the minced garlic into the skillet with the sautéed onion, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
- Crumble 1 pound of ground turkey into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Continue to cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully browned.
- Wash 2 medium zucchinis, trim the ends and cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice each half into half-moon shapes about ¼ inch thick.
- Once the ground turkey is browned, add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes over the skillet.
- Pour in ¼ cup of chicken broth, stirring everything to combine. Continue simmering on medium heat for about 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the skillet simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the broth has slightly reduced.
- Once the zucchini has cooked down, sprinkle ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet. Stir until it melts.
- Taste your creation and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes according to your preference.
- Serve the dish immediately, garnishing with extra Parmesan if desired.
