Tips & Tricks (5)

Veggie Moisture Management 💧
Pat zucchini and bell peppers dry before cooking to prevent excess water release and achieve perfect caramelization in the skillet.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️
Toast cumin and paprika in the pan with olive oil for 30 seconds before adding turkey to unlock deeper, more complex spice flavors.
Protein Texture Mastery 🥄
Break ground turkey into small, uniform crumbles and avoid over-stirring to create crispy edges and prevent mushy texture.
Meal Prep Storage Hack 🥡
Cool the skillet mixture completely before portioning to prevent condensation and maintain optimal texture during refrigeration.
Fresh Herb Precision 🌿
Chop cilantro or parsley just before adding to preserve maximum flavor and prevent wilting in the hot skillet.
