Description

A quick and nutritious skillet meal with ground turkey, zucchini, and chickpeas, packed with flavor and texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Cook ground turkey until browned, with no pink remaining, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in diced zucchini and chickpeas, letting them mingle for a moment.
