Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground turkey
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened.
Stir in the halved Brussels sprouts and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to char slightly.
Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring for one minute.
Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sprouts are fork-tender.
Remove from heat, stir in the fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately.

Notes

You can swap the ground turkey for lean ground chicken if preferred. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a different flavor profile. The red pepper flakes are optional based on your heat preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
