Instructions
1. Cook the Turkey: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Sauté the Veggies: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced zucchini, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Season to Perfection: Stir in the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Add the Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Ground Turkey and Zucchini Skillet warm, garnished with fresh herbs or green onions if desired.

For meal prep, make a larger batch and portion it out into individual containers for easy grab-and-go lunches or dinners throughout the week. To store leftovers, let the skillet cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
