1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat couscous
2 zucchini, diced
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained
2 teaspoons ras el hanout
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

Cook 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat couscous according to package directions. Keep warm, fluffing or separating it before serving. Combine 2 teaspoons ras el hanout, 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 tablespoon lemon juice into a smooth sauce.
Break 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey into rough pieces and season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the main ingredient until it reaches 165°F; transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 zucchini, diced and 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Return the main ingredient, add the sauce, and simmer 1 to 2 minutes until glossy.
Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Divide the prepared base among four plates, add Ras el hanout turkey with couscous. Finish with 1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped.

Green Chef's menu categories and Blue Apron's public cookbook document the broad contemporary meal-kit pattern behind the user's request. This recipe applies that pattern through Kwilt-authored ingredients and method: Build an original North African-inspired weeknight composition around the meal-kit virtues the user requested—clear choices, colorful produce, a distinctive sauce, and a 35-to-40-minute path—without reproducing Green Chef or Blue Apron recipe text.
