Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
• 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 (optional, for brightness)
• Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

• Step 1: Cook the Onion and Garlic
  Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, just until fragrant.
• Step 2: Cook the Turkey
  Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 5–6 minutes, until fully cooked and no pink remains.
• Step 3: Season and Add Peppers
  Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until the turkey is evenly coated. Add the sliced bell peppers and mix well. Cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften slightly while keeping some texture.
• Step 4: Build the Sauce
  Pour in the chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and let everything simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors blend together.
• Step 5: Finish and Serve
  Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze in the lime juice, if using. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
• Enjoy right away on its own or alongside your favorite side dish.

Notes

• Best enjoyed fresh, but also excellent for meal prep.
• Seasoning can be adjusted to suit your spice preference.
• For a saucier result, add a little extra chicken broth or a splash of tomato sauce.
• Leftovers are great in tacos, burrito bowls, or even spooned over a baked potato.
