Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat or low-fat for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh herbs, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, hot sauce
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients so you’re ready to cook efficiently. Measure out your spices and prepare optional toppings for added flavor and texture.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper during the cooking process for added flavor.
- Once the turkey is fully cooked, lower the heat and stir in the cottage cheese. Mix well to ensure the cottage cheese melts slightly and coats the turkey. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Transfer the cooked ground turkey and cottage cheese mixture into serving bowls. Top with your favorite fresh toppings such as chopped herbs, sliced avocado, or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Choose cottage cheese with higher protein content for an even boost in your meal.
- Feel free to add a splash of hot sauce or salsa for a spicy kick.
- Want more veggies? Incorporate sautéed spinach or bell peppers during cooking for added nutrients.
- This bowl pairs beautifully with a side of whole-grain toast or a fresh green salad.
