Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa (about 3 cups cooked)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces turkey sausage, removed from casing
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your sauté pan over medium heat and your saucepan over medium-high for the quinoa.
  2. In the saucepan, toast quinoa for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. While quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in the sauté pan. Add turkey sausage and break into crumbles. Cook for 7–9 minutes until browned.
  4. Push sausage to the side of the pan. Add red onion, garlic, and zucchini. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  5. Add red bell pepper, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Stir everything together. Cook until vegetables are tender and the turkey sausage crumbles are deeply golden.
  7. Stir in lemon juice and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork.
  8. Spoon quinoa into bowls, top with the turkey sausage and vegetable mixture, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Toast the quinoa before cooking to enhance its nutty flavor.
  • Use a wide skillet to properly brown the turkey sausage crumbles without steaming them.
  • Consider adding avocado, a poached egg, or feta cheese for extra richness.
