📝 Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 bell peppers (any color, sliced into strips)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or any cooking oil of choice)
  • 2 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Wash the bell peppers. Slice them in half, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes, then cut into strips.
  2. 2Peel and slice the onion.
  3. 3Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil and toss in the sliced bell peppers.
  4. 4While the peppers are cooking, slice the onion and add it to the pan with the peppers.
  5. 5Once the oil is sizzling, turn the heat down to medium-high. Stir the vegetables every minute and cook until they are tender (about 5 minutes).
  6. 6Sprinkle 1 tsp of chili powder over the cooked vegetables, stir to combine, and let cook for about 30 seconds to release the flavors. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  7. 7In the same pan, add the ground turkey. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Stir every minute until fully cooked and no longer pink (about 7 minutes).
  8. 8Sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp of chili powder over the cooked turkey and stir well to season.
  9. 9Add the cooked peppers and onions back into the pan. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
  10. 10Taste and adjust seasoning as needed—add more chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor if desired.
  11. 11Serve as is for a low-carb meal, or enjoy in tortillas, over rice, or quinoa.
