Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Couscous
5 minPour the hot broth over the couscous, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid. Fluff with a fork.
Turkey
6 minCut the turkey into pieces, season with salt, and sprinkle with cumin. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a skillet, cook the turkey until golden, and remove from the skillet.
Vegetables
6 minCut the onion, zucchini, and bell pepper into pieces. Sauté in the remaining oil until tender but still crisp.
Combine
Add the turkey and couscous, toss with the lemon juice and parsley, and add more salt to taste.
Tip: Turkey breast is lean, so cut it into evenly sized pieces and cook briefly in a hot skillet to keep it from drying out.
