One-Pan Turkey & Green Bean Delight
A healthy and delicious one-pan meal featuring turkey and fresh green beans.
Ingredients
- 1.0 pound ground turkey
- 3.0 cups fresh green beans
- 1.0 medium onion
- 4.0 cloves garlic
- 1.0 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1.0 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
- None to taste salt
- None to taste pepper
- 3.0 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.0 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- None for garnish fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Once the turkey is cooked through, add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until onions become translucent.
- Stir in the green beans, and add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the green beans are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with dried oregano. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to combine. If desired, drizzle balsamic vinegar for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
- Taste the skillet mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm, either by itself or over cooked rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
Notes
Optional balsamic vinegar can be added for enhanced flavor.
