I have found that turkey doesn’t like to take up flavor after it reaches a certain point in cooking. You’re better to season while it’s raw or very early in the cooking process. From a healthy eating standpoint, seasoning won’t throw off your macros when compared to sauces. Based on the picture, this looks like plain turkey…might get boring if you’re gonna do it for a few days consecutive.
Pardon the pun, but how are you going to spice it up?

Turkey is far too dry for me, in my experience the best way to use it is if you’re going to have a sauce heavy dish, but the one thing I do use it for is homemade turkey breakfast sausages. I get a few lbs of 93/7 ground turkey, add breakfast sausage seasonings (salt, pepper, thyme,sage,paprika,cayenne, brown sugar and red pepper flake). Weigh and form into patties, freeze and from there you can thaw overnight or cook from frozen(takes significantly longer). I make the patties around 20g of protein worth, but I want to say they’re like 115g-ish each. Unfortunately they can get dry as mentioned before but I usually crumble the sausage and mix with eggs so it’s not quite as bad.
