# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 3 cloves garlic
02 - 1 medium onion
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 2 medium zucchinis
05 - 500 g ground turkey

→ Seasonings

06 - 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
07 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Liquids & Toppings

10 - 40 g grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 120 ml chicken broth

# Instructions:

01 - Give it a taste and see if you want to toss in a bit more salt, pepper, or flakes. Dish it up right away and sprinkle on more Parmesan if you're in the mood.
02 - Mix everything so the Parmesan melts in and coats all the turkey and zucchini nicely.
03 - When the zucchini is soft and not much liquid's left, scatter your Parmesan over the top.
04 - Pour in your chicken broth, give it a good stir, drop the heat, and let it all hang out together for a few minutes.
05 - Shake in your red pepper flakes, some black pepper, a pinch of salt, and oregano.
06 - Pop in the zucchini you cut up, give it a mix, and let it cook for just a bit so it’s still got some bite.
07 - While the turkey's browning, rinse the zucchinis, slice off their ends, split 'em lengthwise, and cut them into thin half-moons.
08 - Drop your ground turkey into the pan and use a spoon to break it up. Let it cook, turning now and then, until it’s browned all over and safe to eat.
09 - Toss your chopped-up garlic in next. Stir for half a minute until you can smell it.
10 - Peel off that garlic skin and chop it up small.
11 - Drop your diced onion into the hot pan and move it around for a few minutes till it turns soft and see-through.
12 - Grab that onion, peel it, and dice it as tiny as you like.
13 - Pour olive oil in a big skillet and get it warming up on medium heat.

# Notes:

01 - If you overdo the broth, the dish might get soupy since zucchini lets out lots of water when it cooks.
02 - You can swap chicken broth for veggie broth or even a splash of white wine for an extra layer of flavor.
03 - Want a firmer bite? Cook the zucchini by itself first and then mix it in later.
04 - Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and brings way more taste.
05 - Try squeezing in some lemon juice at the end to make everything really pop.
