Preparation

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat until shimmering. Add turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until just browned, about 5 minutes.

  4. When ready, serve each serving sprinkled with chopped parsley and shredded cheddar cheese, and, if desired, a tablespoon of Greek yogurt. (Note: saltines are pictured as a serving suggestion and are not calculated in the nutrition information).
