Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing and slicing the bell peppers and onions. Mince the garlic cloves and set all your ingredients aside for easy access during cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Once cooked through, transfer the turkey to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked turkey to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh finishing touch.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs and high-quality spices for maximum flavor.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Serve over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice to make it more filling.
- Experiment with additional vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for variety.
