How to Make Quick Ground Turkey Orzo
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 5–6 minutes until they are slightly charred and vivid green. Set aside for later!
- In the same pan, add an additional ½ tablespoon of olive oil and cook the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned and fully cooked, about 7–8 minutes.
- Move the turkey to one side of the pan, creating space. Add the uncooked orzo to the empty spot and toast for 1–2 minutes until it’s golden and fragrant.
- Mix in the lemon pepper seasoning, dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
- Pour in the remaining chicken broth and let it simmer for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the orzo is tender and most of the broth is absorbed.
- Lower the heat and mix in the butter, milk, and parmesan cheese, stirring until everything is melted and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the sautéed broccoli back to the skillet. Gently mix to combine all ingredients, then serve warm.
