Description
A warm and comforting bowl filled with ground turkey, quinoa, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced zucchini
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it’s browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the diced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and vibrant.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The aroma will be simply delightful!
- Serve the turkey mixture over the fluffy quinoa, and if you’d like, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies, add a dollop of Greek yogurt, or swap quinoa for brown rice.
