# What You'll Need:
→ Proteins
01 - 1 pound ground turkey, preferably lean
→ Vegetables & Aromatics
02 - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved
03 - 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
→ Oils & Liquids
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
06 - 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
07 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
→ Seasonings
08 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
09 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
10 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
11 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
→ Garnishes
12 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
13 - Fresh parsley, chopped
# Directions:
01 - Rinse Brussels sprouts, trim off tough ends, and halve lengthwise. Dice the onion into small pieces and mince the garlic cloves.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat. Add ground turkey, breaking apart with a spatula. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
03 - Transfer cooked turkey to a plate and set aside. Wipe out excess liquid from skillet, leaving browned bits. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Sauté diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
04 - Place halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until golden brown on the cut sides. Stir sprouts with onions and garlic, then add broth or water. Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes until sprouts are fork-tender.
05 - Remove lid and return turkey to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 2 minutes until heated through and most liquid has evaporated. Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
