Learn a new preparation technique: Instead of sauteing the turkey and veggies, combine the turkey, veggies, garlic, and seasonings on a sheet pan and bake at 400°F, until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Just make sure to break up the meat and toss the ingredients after 10 minutes.
