Ranch Turkey & Veggies

I'm like any other mom. There's plenty of evenings that I notice it's 4:30-5:00, and I have no clue of what I'm making for dinner. That's no always a bad thing. Those are the nights when I throw together ingredients I have on-hand, and a new yummy dish is born. 

What's for Dinner?

Ranch Turkey & Veggies

2 lbs ground turkey

3 calabacita (or zucchini), cut into bite-size pieces

15-20 baby carrots, sliced

1 yellow or red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces

1 Tbs dill paste

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp black pepper

2 tsp kosher salt

1-1/2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

1/4 c lemon juice

extra Salt and Pepper, to taste

1. In a large pot on medium heat, brown the ground turkey. Once browned, drain meat of excess moisture. 

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together dill, garlic & onion powders, salt, pepper, oil, and lemon juice. Set aside. 

3. Add all veggies to the ground turkey on the pot. Pour dill mixture over veggies and stir. 

4. Continue to stir every few minutes so veggies cook evenly. It's ready to serve when veggies are cooked through to your liking (I prefer mine to still have a little bit of a crunch).  Add more salt and pepper, depending on your preferred taste. 

Yields 9 servings.
