Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey Lean and versatile protein.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For sautéing.
  • 1 small onion, diced Adds sweetness and flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Key ingredient for flavor.
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice Low-carb substitute for traditional rice.

Preparation

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
  • Toss in the ground turkey and break it up as you cook. Season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until turkey is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Portion into meal prep containers or serve straight from the skillet.
