Meal Prep Quickie: Turkey & Squash Mix
FitMenCook
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.

Ingredients
Ingredients for 5 servings
- 1 large (or 2 medium) zucchini, diced
- 1 large (or 2 medium) squash, diced
- spray olive or avocado oil
- 1 1/2 lb 93% lean ground turkey
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced (OPTIONAL)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons The Fit Cook Everyday blend
- 1 tablespoon chili (or chipotle) powder
- 8oz (mild) red enchilada sauce
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Steps
- Set a large carbon steel skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, spray with oil then add the squash and zucchini. Season with sea salt & pepper as it cooks in the pan. Cook until the veggies slightly soften and you see sear marks. Then remove the veggies and place the pan back on the heat.
- Lightly spray again then add the turkey and chop it up as it cooks. Add the onion and the seasonings and continue cooking until it’s about 85% cooked, there should be a few visible pink pieces, about 8 minutes. Add the enchilada sauce and stir, making sure the meat is chopped evenly.
- Add the squash back, stir and serve!
- Enjoy with your choice of grain, cauliflower rice or even enjoy it cold over a bed of lettuce for a taco salad.
