  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 zucchini diced

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink; drain excess fat.
  • Add diced red onion to the skillet and cook until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking until they soften slightly.
  • Add chickpeas, vegetable broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Remove from heat, then stir in crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped dill.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the oregano. This skillet is also great served over quinoa or rice.
