Turkey and Vegetable Skillet
Description
This Turkey and Vegetable Skillet starts with ground turkey browned in olive oil along with onions, garlic, and herbs such as oregano and basil, creating a flavorful base. Diced zucchini, summer squash, green beans, and fire-roasted tomatoes are added and cooked until the vegetables soften but retain some texture.
The mixture is seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper for balance. Shredded mozzarella cheese tops the skillet mixture and the dish is finished under the oven broiler to melt and brown the cheese, adding a creamy and lightly crisped layer.
This skillet makes a wholesome meal featuring lean protein and fresh vegetables, suitable for a quick dinner. The combination of broiled cheese and sautéed vegetables provides varied textures, while the herbs complement the turkey’s mild flavor.
