Method

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and boil it in salted water for about 10-12 minutes.
2. While the quinoa is cooking, wash the zucchini and cut them into small cubes or half-moons.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet with a crushed garlic clove and sauté the zucchini for 6-7 minutes.
4. Dice the turkey breast and add it to the skillet with the zucchini once they are slightly golden.
5. Cook the turkey over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring often until browned and cooked through.
6. Drain the quinoa and add it to the skillet, removing the garlic clove first.
7. Toss everything together with freshly chopped mint for a burst of freshness before serving.

Tips

• Toast the quinoa in the dry pan for 1 minute before boiling to enhance its nutty flavor.
• Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors of the turkey and zucchini.
