Ingredients
Ground Turkey 1 lb
Olive Oil 1 tbsp
Small Onion 1 unit
Bell Peppers 3 units
Garlic 3 cloves
Smoked Paprika 1 tsp
Ground Cumin 1 tsp
Chicken Broth 1 cup
Tomato Paste 1 tbsp
Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
Coconut Aminos 2 tbsp
Lime Juice 1 tbsp
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
Add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened
Include minced garlic and cook for 1 minute
Coarsely chop bell peppers and add to the skillet, stir-fry for 4 minutes
Spread ground turkey into the pan and break it apart with a spatula
Sprinkle paprika, cumin, and salt over the turkey; stir to combine
Pour in chicken broth and tablespoon of tomato paste, simmer for 5 minutes
Add soy sauce or coconut aminos for umami, stir in lime juice before serving
Notes
Use avocado oil instead of olive oil for a higher smoke point
93% lean turkey retains better moisture
Opt for mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green) for brighter color
Serve with jasmine rice, tortillas, or a grilled vegetable platter
Cook quickly to prevent peppers from over-softening
