In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, sauté until browned.

Remove turkey from the skillet, add minced garlic and shallot, sauté until fragrant.

Stir in orzo pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes, coating it with oil and aromatics.

Pour in chicken broth, season with salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until orzo is tender.
