  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add turkey*, Shawarma Spice Blend, and remaining garlic powder; generously season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Stir in stock concentrates and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings), then reduce heat to medium low and simmer, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: Stir in a splash of water near the end of cooking to make sure your turkey is nice and saucy!
