Description

A delicious and healthy meal featuring lean ground turkey and colorful bell peppers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 3 large bell peppers, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and ground turkey. Cook, stirring frequently, until turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced bell peppers, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until peppers start to soften.
  4. Mix in diced tomatoes, black beans, and cooked brown rice. Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and the mixture is heated through.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the skillet and cover for 2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Serve hot.
