A quick and healthy sheet pan recipe featuring ground turkey and roasted veggies seasoned with taco spices, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • Optional: chopped cilantro
  • Optional: avocado or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and slice bell peppers into strips, zucchini into half-moons about ½ inch thick, and thinly slice the red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes if large. Place all veggies in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the veggies, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine the ground turkey with minced garlic and the taco seasoning (about 2 tablespoons). Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and mix gently but thoroughly.
  5. Spread the seasoned ground turkey in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Arrange the veggies on the other side in a single layer.
  6. Place the sheet pan on the middle rack and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring the veggies halfway through. The turkey should be cooked through and veggies tender with some char spots.
  7. While roasting, prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions and fluff with a fork when done.
  8. Spoon the cooked rice or quinoa into bowls, top with the roasted turkey and veggies. Garnish with chopped cilantro and optional creamy toppings like avocado slices or sour cream.
  9. Squeeze a little lime juice over everything if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

If veggies brown too quickly, loosely cover the pan with foil halfway through cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. Mix turkey gently to keep it tender. Prep all ingredients before starting to cook for smoother workflow.
