2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat
Cook turkey with onion and garlic until no pink remains
Add zucchini, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and tomato paste
Simmer 8-10 minutes until zucchini softens but remains intact
Cook additional 3-5 minutes to evaporate excess moisture

Notes
For optimal texture, do not overcook zucchini
Use fresh garlic and oregano if available
Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days
Freeze uncooked mixture for future meals
Add cherry tomatoes for a fresh twist
