Description

A quick and healthy meal featuring protein-packed ground turkey, vibrant bell peppers, and aromatic spices for a delicious weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 bell peppers (any color, sliced)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or lettuce wraps for serving

  6. Serve over cooked rice, in lettuce wraps, or use it as a filling for tacos.

Notes

Consider topping with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime for added flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days, or frozen for longer storage.
