Yields1 Serving
 1 package Ground turkey (can be substituted for lean ground beef or chicken)
 1 bunch Broccolini (or Kale)
 1 Zucchini
 1 White onion, chopped
 2 Cloves of fresh garlic, chopped
 1 tsp Italian seasoning
 1 tsp Paprika
 1 tbsp Lemon juice
 To taste Salt and pepper
 1 tbsp Coconut oil
1

Chop broccolini and zucchini separately. Rinse each thoroughly, pat dry and set aside.

2

Add coconut oil to a wok pan and heat on the stove, at medium heat, until hot. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until translucent.

3

Add ground turkey to pan over top of onions. Crumble the turkey into small pieces with spatula, and sauté until it’s nearly cooked.

4

Add seasoning: salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.

5

Once turkey is nearly cooked (when very few pieces still look pink), add the chopped broccolini to the wok. Quickly pour lemon juice on top and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. *Salt helps vegetables to release the water they contain, so that additional liquid doesn’t have to be added to the pan.

6

Cover with lid and let sit until broccolini begins to heat through.

7

Add chopped zucchini to the wok and sauté all ingredients together.

8

By this time the turkey will be fully cooked. Ensure all ingredients are heated through before removing from heat.

9

Use this sauté to top salads, grains, or to eat by itself. Enjoy.
