Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

1 cup uncooked long-grain rice

2 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Cook the Turkey: Increase the heat slightly and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

      Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the uncooked rice, making sure it's well combined with the turkey mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

        Incorporate Vegetables: Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
