If you're seeking a quick yet nutritious meal that doesn't compromise on flavor, you'll adore the delightful Brussels Sprouts Ground Turkey Skillet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté these aromatics until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes. This step is crucial as it creates the flavorful base of your dish.
- Next, introduce the ground turkey into the skillet. Use your wooden spoon to break it apart and cook until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Make sure to stir frequently, ensuring the turkey cooks evenly. This step will take about 5-7 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when there is no pink left.
- Now it's time to elevate your skillet by adding the halved Brussels sprouts. Along with them, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a touch of spice. Stir everything well so the sprouts are coated in the flavors. Pour in the chicken broth and cover the skillet, allowing everything to simmer together.
- After approximately 5-7 minutes, check the tenderness of the Brussels sprouts. Once they are fork-tender, stir in the lemon juice for a refreshing finish. The acidity from the lemon brightens up the flavors beautifully. Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, delicious skillet dish!
Notes
For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the ground turkey with spices beforehand. If you’re short on time, pre-chopped vegetables can speed up your cooking process.
