Ingredients
Scale
Ground Turkey:
- 1 lb ground turkey
Aromatics:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder (optional)
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
Other Ingredients:
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos

Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: 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.
- Brown the Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up into small pieces and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
- Season and Add Peppers: 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 cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the Sauce Components: Pour in the chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Squeeze in fresh lime juice, garnish with cilantro or parsley, and serve hot!
Notes
- You can customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of chili powder added.
