Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 3 bell peppers
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt
  • pepper
  • fresh parsley optional

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

  1. Chop your onions, peppers, and garlic first. Then heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the diced onions for about 2 minutes until they start to soften and turn translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and break it apart with your spoon as it browns, cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  4. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and continue to cook everything together for about 5 more minutes until the peppers are tender but still have a slight crisp.
  5. Add the tomato paste, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring until everything is evenly coated and the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  6. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then remove the pan from heat and top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
