Description

A quick and tasty meal featuring ground turkey and colorful bell peppers, perfect for a weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

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

Notes

  • For added flavor, try incorporating a teaspoon of chili powder for some heat.
  • Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef for a different taste.
