Instructions
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
