Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and edges just begin to turn golden.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet and break it apart with a spoon. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a sear, then continue cooking another 3-4 minutes until browned throughout (5-7 minutes total). The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.

Notes
Feel free to swap out the ground turkey for chicken, beef, or even a plant-based option. Experiment with different spices like cumin or add black beans for extra protein and texture to really make it your own. For storage, let the dish cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.
