How to make it

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Continue to cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper starts to soften.

  3. 3

    Stir in the smoked paprika, making sure to coat the turkey and bell pepper evenly. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until the spinach wilts down, which usually takes just a couple of minutes.

  5. 5

    Finally, stir in the low fat cottage cheese. Cook just until it is heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious high protein meal.
