Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • ground turkey
  • onion, diced
  • Brussels sprouts, halved
  • garlic, minced
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • red pepper flakes
  • chicken broth
  • fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. This initial step is crucial for getting a good sear on the turkey and sprouts.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until it's browned. Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the turkey is cooked through, add the diced onion, sautéing until it's softened. This will impart an amazing flavor base for the rest of the dish.
  • Stir in the halved Brussels sprouts, cooking them for about 5-7 minutes. You want them to get a bit of a char for added flavor and texture.
  • After the sprouts start to char, add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir for about a minute to let the garlic become fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and cover the skillet. Let it simmer until the sprouts are fork-tender. This step helps meld all the flavors together beautifully.
  • Remove from heat and add fresh lemon juice. Give everything a good stir before serving. The brightness of the lemon really makes the dish pop!
