Juicy ground turkey sautéed with bell peppers and aromatic spices, creating a quick, protein-packed meal perfect for busy weeknights.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 lb ground turkey

→ Produce

02 - 1 small onion, diced
03 - 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
06 - Juice of ½ lime (optional)

→ Pantry Items

07 - 1 tbsp olive oil
08 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1 tsp ground cumin
10 - ½ tsp chili powder (optional)
11 - ½ tsp salt
12 - ½ tsp black pepper
13 - ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
14 - 1 tbsp tomato paste
15 - 1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
02 - Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
03 - Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the turkey evenly with the seasonings. Add the sliced bell peppers and stir everything together. Let the peppers cook for 3-4 minutes, just until they start to soften but still retain some crunch.
04 - Pour in the chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce. Stir everything together and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
05 - Turn off the heat and squeeze in the fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately, either on its own or with your favorite side!

# Additional Notes:

01 - This dish is best served fresh, but it also works great for meal prep.
02 - Feel free to adjust the seasoning to match your preferred spice level.
03 - If you like extra sauce, you can add a splash of tomato sauce or a little more chicken broth.
04 - Leftovers can be repurposed into tacos, burrito bowls, or stuffed into a baked potato for variety.
