Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1 medium diced zucchini and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
2. Step 2: Cook 1/2 cup quinoa in 1 cup water for 15 minutes until fluffy, then fluff with a fork. While quinoa cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add 8 oz lean ground turkey and 2 minced garlic cloves, breaking it into crumbles, and cook for 6-7 minutes until no longer pink.
3. Step 3: Stir 1/2 tsp dried oregano and 1 tbsp lemon juice into the cooked turkey; season with salt and pepper. Combine roasted vegetables, cooked quinoa, and turkey mixture in a bowl, then top with 2 oz crumbled feta cheese and 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
