30-Minute Ground Turkey Vegetable Skillet
Description
The recipe cooks ground turkey in avocado oil to develop a browned surface, then seasons it with turmeric and sea salt. Vegetables such as chopped green onions, radishes, broccoli, and carrots are added and cooked covered until softened. Coconut aminos contribute a mild umami flavor reminiscent of soy sauce but with a sweeter edge. Optionally, baby spinach is stirred in at the end to wilt lightly.
This dish works well as a standalone skillet meal or served over cooked starches like sweet potato or rice, providing protein and vegetables in a single pan. The method emphasizes cooking until vegetables reach tenderness without overcooking, preserving some texture.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric ground
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 3 green onion chopped, stalks
- 3 radish chopped
- 1 broccoli chopped, large crown
- 1 carrot peeled and chopped, large
- 3 Tbsp coconut aminos or liquid aminos
- 1 spinach optional, baby, huge handful
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat in a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet (I use a 12-inch skillet).
- Add the ground turkey and press into a single layer. Brown turkey without touching it for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned. Flip the meat and continue browning another 2 minutes. Add spices and sea salt and use a spatula to chop the meat into smaller pieces.
- Add the veggies to the skillet and stir well. Cover the skillet and cook 5 to 8 minutes, until vegetables soften. Add the coconut aminos and spinach and replace the cover. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the cover and stir well. Taste mixture for flavor and add more sea salt, and/or coconut aminos to taste.
- Serve as is, or on top of cooked sweet potato or rice.
