Preparation Time: approx. 45 Minutes

Instructions:

  • Wash the Potatoes and chop them into small pieces (I leave the peal on them). Empty them into a small pot with water (add some Salt) and put to Boil.
  • While the potatoes are cooking; Start preparing everything that needs to be cut/chopped. Cut the Zucchini and Peppers. Also chop 1-2 cloves (or 1 big one) of Garlic and approximately 30 g of Onion.
  • In another small pot add half a tbsp of Olive Oil and a small part of the Onion. Brown the Onion and add the Zucchini, cook until golden brown. Empty into a small Bowl so you can reuse the Pot for the sweet peppers.
  • Drain the potatoes once they’re done and set pot asside. Keep it covered so they stay warm.
  • Add half a tbsp of Olive Oil into the small pot and add the Peppers, sauté for about 1-2 minutes
  • In another Pot add 1 tbsp of Olive Oil and the remaining Onion as well as the Garlic, cook until golden brown then add the Ground Turkey. Cook the Ground Turkey approx. 12-15 min, by this time all the liquid should have evaporated and it should have changed in color as well. Once dry add a pinch of Oregano leaves, some white Pepper, about 1 tbsp of Paprika Powder and Salt to taste and 4 tbsp of plain Tomato Sauce; stir and let it cook on low heat for about 1-2 more minutes.
  • Take the Ground Turkey off the Stove and add the Zucchini and Peppers and stir until evenly mixed.
  • You can add the Potatoes into the mixture or serve seperately and combine on your plate or meal prep container.
  • Serve half of the portion on a Plate and enjoy your Meal!

*Store the other Half in an airtight Container in the Fridge.
