Description

A quick and healthy Ground Turkey and Peppers Stir‑Fry, combining lean ground turkey with colorful bell peppers and savory spices—perfect for low‑carb dinners, wraps, salads, or rice bowls.


Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey (preferably lean)

3 bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, green), sliced or diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil (or preferred cooking oil)

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth (optional for moisture)

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat

Optional: fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish


Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute.

Add ground turkey, breaking it apart, and cook until browned and no longer pink (~6–8 minutes).

Stir in onion and garlic (if not already added), and cook until onions are translucent (~2–3 minutes).

Add bell peppers along with cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until peppers soften but remain slightly crisp (~5–7 minutes).

Pour in broth and simmer for about 5 minutes to let flavors meld and liquid reduce slightly.

Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, add crushed red pepper flakes for heat
