Ground Turkey Skillet with Zucchini, Corn, Black Beans and Tomato
Description
The Ground Turkey Skillet with Zucchini, Corn, Black Beans and Tomato combines lean ground turkey seasoned with cumin and salt, browned quickly in a skillet, then mixed with fresh vegetables including zucchini, corn, tomato, onion, garlic, and jalapeño. The tomato paste adds depth, and cilantro brightens the flavor. A small amount of water steams the zucchini until tender crisp, maintaining texture and integrating flavors.
The dish offers a mildly spicy and savory profile, with tender meat and crisp vegetables providing contrasting textures. It is cooked in a single skillet, providing convenience without sacrificing flavor complexity.
Serving the skillet with lime wedges enhances brightness and can be customized with additional cilantro garnish. This meal suits casual lunches or dinners requiring minimal cleanup.
