Creating a delicious Ground Turkey Zucchini Chickpea Skillet is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add Ground Turkey: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-6 minutes.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the turkey is evenly coated with spices.
5. Incorporate Zucchini: Add the diced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender.
6. Add Chickpeas: Fold in the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
7. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a fresh touch.
8. Serve: Transfer to serving plates or bowls and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
