Equipment
Method
- In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a mixing spoon as it cooks.
- Add the diced carrot and zucchini to the pot, stirring for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water and then add it to the pot along with the chicken broth and dried thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the vegetables are tender.
- Allow the mixture to rest off the heat for 5 minutes. Before serving, mix everything together, ensuring a soft and even texture.
- Optionally, sprinkle with cheese or fresh herbs before portioning it into small bowls for your little one.
