Before You Start
Pull the ground turkey out for a few minutes, cube the squash, trim the green beans, rinse the spinach, mince the garlic, and have the cooked rice ready to serve under it.
How To Make It
- Steam the cubed squash in a covered pan with a splash of water over medium heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until fork tender, then set it aside.
- Steam the green beans in a covered pan with a splash of water, 6 to 8 minutes, until tender but still bright green, then set aside.
- Warm the olive oil in the same pan over medium heat, add the ground turkey with the garlic and sage, and cook, breaking it up, 6 to 8 minutes, until no pink remains and it reaches 165°F in the center, then spoon off the fat so the bowl does not go greasy.
- Add the spinach and cook, 2 to 3 minutes, until it wilts down into the turkey.
- Fold the squash and green beans through the turkey and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until everything is steaming.
- Spoon over the cooked white rice and serve.
Fix It: If the turkey sticks and tears, give it a minute to brown before you stir, since it releases from the pan on its own once it is seared.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
