Description
A comforting skillet dish featuring ground turkey and butternut squash, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey, cooking until it’s browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced butternut squash, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the skillet and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the squash is tender.
