1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

4. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to evenly distribute spices.
5. Add cherry tomatoes and spinach. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until tomatoes soften and spinach wilts.
6. Remove from heat, stir again, and taste. Adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
