Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey lean or regular
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, then sauté the chopped onion for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up and cooking until fully browned (5-7 minutes), then drain any excess fat. Stir in the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add all the chopped mixed vegetables and broth (if using) to the skillet, then toss everything thoroughly to coat with turkey drippings and seasonings.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the turkey is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For crispier vegetables, ensure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what's in season or your preferences.
