Sautéed ground turkey and zucchini combine with herbs, spices, and Parmesan for a satisfying one-pan dinner.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound ground turkey
02 - 2 medium zucchinis
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 medium onion
05 - 3 cloves garlic
06 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
07 - 1 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
10 - 1/4 cup chicken broth
11 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps:

01 - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
02 - Peel and finely chop the onion.
03 - Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
04 - Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

06 - Crumble the ground turkey into the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
07 - Cook the ground turkey for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
08 - Wash the zucchinis, trim the ends, and cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each half into half-moon shapes about 1/4 inch thick.
09 - Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet with the ground turkey mixture.
10 - Stir the zucchini into the meat and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the zucchini starts to soften but still retains some firmness.
11 - Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes over the skillet mixture.
12 - Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, stirring everything to combine.
13 - Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
14 - Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet, stirring it into the mixture until it melts and coats the turkey and zucchini evenly.
15 - Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
16 - Serve the dish immediately, garnishing with extra Parmesan if desired.
