Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the browned meat to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the diced tomato, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili flakes. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top just before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your low carb, savory ground meat and vegetable skillet!
