Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:
- Cook the Turkey:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Season and Combine:
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes, oregano, basil, and paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. If the mixture seems dry, add the chicken broth and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
