A quick, flavorful skillet dinner with ground turkey, bell pepper, onion, and canned tomatoes, perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking (about 1–2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1–2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Add the ground turkey. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook another 3–4 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes, then add paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Notes

For crisper peppers, add them later in the cooking process. This dish is great served over rice, pasta, or in tortillas.
