About this Dish

One pan of this Mexican-Style Ground Turkey can be turned into a whole variety of delicious and colorful dishes your whole family will love, think: tacos, Mexican-spiced grain bowls, nachos, quesadillas, and more.

Ingredients 

1 lb ground turkey

1 onion, chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp cumin 

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground pepper

Directions

In a large skillet or sauce pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

Add the ground turkey and spices. Gently break up the ground turkey with a wooden spoon and cook until golden, about 8 minutes.

Remove the Turkey from the pan, and set aside. Add chopped peppers and onions, saute until onions become translucent and peppers soften, about 5 minutes. Then add that Turkey back in and combine.

Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside until you’re ready to use the turkey. This will keep refrigerated for up to 4 days; reheat slowly over low heat in a pan on the stovetop, stirring frequently.
