Instructions
-
Heat the pan: Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it shimmer.
-
Add garlic: Stir in garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
-
Brown the turkey: Add ground turkey, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it cook undisturbed for 1 minute, then break it up and cook 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
-
Add veggies: Stir in cherry tomatoes and olives. Cook 2–3 minutes until tomatoes soften slightly.
-
Finish bright: Remove from heat, squeeze in lemon juice, and stir.
-
Top and serve: Sprinkle with feta and fresh herbs. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Don’t rush the browning: Letting the turkey sit briefly before stirring builds flavor.
-
Use fresh lemon: Bottled juice won’t give the same brightness.
-
Make it your own: Add zucchini or bell peppers with the turkey for extra veggies.
-
Meal prep friendly: Stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
