Creating a Ground Turkey and Zucchini Skillet is simple. Follow these straightforward steps:

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Incorporate Zucchini: Stir in the diced zucchini and cook for an additional 5 minutes. This helps soften the zucchini without losing its crunch.
5. Season: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper into the mixture. Stir until all components are well mixed and heated through.
6. Melt Cheese (Optional): If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet, allowing the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil before serving.
8. Serve: Dish out your Ground Turkey and Zucchini Skillet while it’s hot. Enjoy it as is or with a side of rice or quinoa for extra substance.
