(via: https://bit.ly/4uS4iMf )

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
1⁄2 cup chicken broth
1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat the turkey and onion mixture.
Add the diced butternut squash to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir everything together, cover, and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped kale. Cover the skillet again and cook until the kale has wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice, adjust seasoning if necessary, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
