Step 1
Start by mixing the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to create your spice blend. Spread half of the sliced onions evenly in the bottom of a 10-inch skillet. Next, layer the potato slices on top, overlapping them if needed to cover the surface. Follow with the carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and then the tomatoes. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the tomatoes for extra flavor.

Step 2
Arrange the turkey pieces evenly over the vegetables, then sprinkle your spice mix over the meat. Top everything with the remaining onion slices and drizzle a bit of vegetable oil over the whole dish. Cover the skillet and let it cook on medium-low heat for about 40 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the onions on top have softened and turned translucent.

Step 3
Once done, take off the lid and let the tagine rest for 10 minutes. Just before serving, drizzle a little olive oil over the top to finish it off. Enjoy!
