INGREDIENTS:

  • Half tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND TURKEY:

  • This is the main thing to add to your skillet recipe. We will use lean ground turkey to keep this dish lighter. Also, it will make your recipe delicious, and you will feel satisfied after eating it too. Add extra-lean ground chicken if you need an alternative.

YELLOW ONION:

  • Your dish will feel savory if you use this onion in it. Also, this onion gets sweeter after cooking. The flavor of the onion will mix in your turkey mix easily as well. You may also add white onion for a different idea.

BELL PEPPERS:

  • We will use bell peppers in the skillet as well. These will make your recipe colorful and also give a bit sweet flavor to the dish. You will get crunchy bites from using them in your dish. Mini sweet peppers are also a choice for you to use.

GARLIC:

  • Garlic will boost the flavor of your skillet recipe. It will also make the taste of this dish richer. Use half a tsp of garlic powder when you need another idea.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

  • This seasoning will help your dish get a good flavor without using so many spices at once. This ingredient will improve the savory taste of your dish, too. Mix thyme, basil, and dried oregano for an alternative.

TOMATO PASTE:

  • The skillet recipe will feel moist if you are using it in it. Tomato paste will make a little base for your dish as well. This way, it will not feel very dry when you eat it. Use a little tomato sauce if you need something different.

LOW-SODIUM CHICKEN BROTH:

  • This ingredient will help make your dish moist as well, and it can cook all the ingredients in it too. Low-sodium one is a good choice for this recipe as well, or you may use low-sodium vegetable broth for another idea.

LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • We will use the low-fat cottage cheese in this skillet to keep it lighter. This cheese is the main thing to use in your dish as well. You will see that your dish will get a little creamier from adding it. Use low-fat ricotta cheese for another idea if you prefer.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese can melt very nicely on top of the ingredients, which will give you a cheesy flavor as well. Add reduced-fat cheddar cheese for substitution.
