Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
– 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
– 1 pound lean turkey sausage, casings removed
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 cup fresh spinach
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– Salt, to taste
– Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey sausage. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Ensure it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the pepper softens and the garlic becomes fragrant.
4. Toss in the sliced zucchini. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
5. Add the fresh spinach, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir until the spinach wilts, which will take about 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let the stir-fry sit for a minute. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
