Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken or turkey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the finely diced bell pepper and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks.
Stir in paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
Continue cooking the meat mixture, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains and the meat is nicely browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the soy sauce and nutritional yeast, ensuring everything is well combined.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the savory protein crumble as a topping for your favorite salad, soup, or use it as a filling for low carb wraps or lettuce cups.
