Ingredients

Meat and Oils

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • Juice of ½ lime

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  2. Brown the Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
  3. Season and Add Peppers: Sprinkle in smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the turkey with seasonings. Add the sliced bell peppers and stir together. Cook for 4 minutes until peppers soften but remain crunchy.
  4. Add the Sauce Components: Pour in chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce. Stir together and let simmer for 3 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Finish and Serve: Turn off heat and squeeze in fresh lime juice. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately on its own or with your favorite side.

Notes

  • Use ground chicken as a substitute if preferred.
  • Adjust chili powder amount to control heat level.
  • For a gluten-free version, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Add cooked rice or quinoa to make it a more filling meal.
  • Fresh lime juice brightens the flavors but can be omitted if desired.
