Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground sage
- 0.5 cup Water
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine fennel seeds, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and ground sage. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
Place the lean ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning blend over the turkey.
Using your hands or a large spoon, thoroughly mix the spices into the meat until well incorporated.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the turkey mixture to help distribute the spices evenly. Continue to mix until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
Add the turkey mixture to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the turkey into small crumbles as it begins to cook.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes or until the turkey crumbles are browned and cooked through, adding the remaining water as needed to prevent sticking and to maintain moisture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
