flat side.

Heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium to high heat in large skillet.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"4\" id=\"mv_create_110_5\">Add ground turkey meat to pan. Season pan with all the seasonings and 1\/2 tsp of salt. Break up meat and stir.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"5\" id=\"mv_create_110_6\">While meat cooks, chop onions, add to meat pan.

Sprinkle each with parmesan cheese.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"9\" id=\"mv_create_110_10\">Return back into oven. Bake an additional 10 minutes.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"10\" id=\"mv_create_110_11\">Optional topping: Drizzle with a little traditional balsamic vinegar or Espresso Balsamic.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<footer class=\"mv-create-footer\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"mv-create-footer-flexbox\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-copy\">&copy; Laurie<\/div>\t\n\t<div class=\"mv-create-categories\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/C600225C-6B3B-415E-8735-95273A33CC8B-300x247-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-pin-description=\"\" class=\"mv-create-pinterest no_pin ggnoads\" width=\"300\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/C600225C-6B3B-415E-8735-95273A33CC8B-300x247-1.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/C600225C-6B3B-415E-8735-95273A33CC8B-300x247-1-150x124.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/footer>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-checklists\" data-creation-id=\"110\"><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/stuffed-acorn-squash\/c600225c-6b3b-415e-8735-95273a33cc8b\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-694\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-694 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/C600225C-6B3B-415E-8735-95273A33CC8B-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2,30,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-main-dish","category-recipes","category-turkey","category-vegetables"],"mv":{"thumbnail_id":null,"thumbnail_uri":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1992,"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693\/revisions\/1992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laurelblackmorris.com\/kitchen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
