Instructions

1

In a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet, brown the ground turkey over medium-high heat until it begins to crisp and turns a deep golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.

2

Add the diced zucchini and sauté until softened but still holding its shape.

3

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and raisins, allowing the mixture to simmer and reduce until the liquid is syrupy and coats the meat.

4

Season generously with cumin, oregano, and a splash of vinegar to balance the sweetness of the raisins.

5

Fold in the cooked quinoa, ensuring it absorbs the savory tomato juices, and cook until warmed through.

6

Serve immediately in a shallow bowl, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime to cut through the richness.
