Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I heat the olive oil in my large pot over medium heat. I add the diced onion, letting it sauté until it’s translucent and fragrant. The smell is truly inviting! Next, I toss in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. After that, I add the ground turkey and break it up with my wooden spoon, cooking it until it’s browned and no longer pink. The kitchen fills up with such a savory scent.
