Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 lb. 93/7 lean ground turkey can sub for ground beef, chicken or meatless option
  • 2 tsp each divided: salt, Italian seasoning & garlic powder
  • 1 large zucchini (300g) chopped
  • 1/2 medium red onion (110g) finely diced
  • 10 oz. frozen cauliflower rice - or 1 pouch cooked rice
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 lemon zested & juiced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (56g)
  • 1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives (110g)

Instructions

  • Heat 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once shiny, add the turkey and season with 1 tsp of salt, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Cook, breaking into crumbles as you go, for 4-5 minutes or until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil to the skillet along with the zucchini, red onion and cauliflower rice. Season with the remaining 1 tsp of salt, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
  • Add the tomatoes, lemon zest and juice of half of a lemon. Add the cooked turkey back. Toss everything to combine.
  • Top with the feta cheese and olives. Taste and add any additional seasoning or lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve with some warmed pita bread and a dollop of sour cream (recommended!) or whatever sounds good and enjoy!

Notes

NOTES: subbing the turkey for Greek Chicken in this would also be delicious!
