→ Spices & Seasonings
10 -
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
12 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
13 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
14 -
0.5 teaspoon chili powder
15 -
0.5 teaspoon paprika
→ Cheese
16 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Spoon everything onto plates. It's tasty on its own, but you can pair it with some pasta, quinoa, or rice if you want something extra.
02 -
Pull the pan off the stove. Scatter all the mozzarella on top. Pop a lid or plate over it so it melts in just a minute.
03 -
Turn down the heat. Let things hang out on the stove, mixing now and then, for 2 to 4 minutes. Stop when the zucchini keeps a little crunch and all veggies are hot.
04 -
Dump in the peas, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, zucchini, tomato paste, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir so everything gets evenly mixed.
05 -
Shove the turkey to one side of the pan. On the empty side, drop in the last tablespoon of oil, plus onion and garlic. Cook till the onion looks see-through, about 1 or 2 minutes. Blend it all together.
06 -
Warm up 1 tablespoon of oil in a big skillet over medium to high heat. Add the turkey. Break it apart with your spatula as it browns up.
# Notes:
01 -
If your mozzarella isn't melting the way you want, toss a lid or plate over the pan after turning off the heat. That'll help it turn gooey in no time.
02 -
To get the best crunch, don't let that zucchini get mushy. You want it still a bit firm if you poke it with a fork.
