Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned.
Stir in the chicken broth, orzo, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the orzo is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef if preferred.
