Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups Brussels sprouts thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the Brussels sprouts and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey.
  6. Season the turkey with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Cook the turkey for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Ground turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Stir everything together and add the soy sauce and lemon juice.

For extra texture, allow the Brussels sprouts to caramelize slightly before stirring often. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
