Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow or green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and chop the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and set everything aside for quick access during cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and sliced peppers to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for flavor.
- Pour in the soy sauce and stir to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve hot with steamed rice, quinoa, or lettuce wraps. For added flavor, squeeze fresh lime or drizzle hot sauce; top with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary slightly based on the thickness of vegetables and heat level.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach.
- For a spicier version, add more red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option.
