Lemon Herb Turkey and Asparagus

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins
Yields: 4 Servings 

Ingredients

• 1 pound of extra-lean ground turkey breast
• 1 large bunch of fresh asparagus
• 3 cloves of minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 freshly squeezed lemon
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of coarse sea salt 

Directions

1. Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends, then slice the remaining stalks into one-inch pieces. 
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for roughly sixty seconds until fragrant. 
3. Add the ground turkey breast to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until it is completely browned. 
4. Toss the sliced asparagus pieces into the skillet with the turkey, seasoning the mixture with the dried oregano and sea salt. 
5. Reduce the heat to medium, pour the fresh lemon juice over the top and cover the skillet with a lid to let the asparagus steam for roughly four to five minutes until it is tender yet crisp. 
6. Remove the lid, stir the contents thoroughly to combine the pan juices and serve immediately as a high-protein dinner base.

Enjoy!
