Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 bell peppers any color, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced bell peppers, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  5. Add the drained diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. If using, stir in the cooked quinoa or rice until well mixed and heated.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
