Ground turkey with Peppers

Cooking spray

1 cup chopped yellow onion

1 bell pepper (red or yellow preferred), chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

salt/pepper

1 lb ground turkey, preferably ground turkey thighs

1 teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder (or to taste)

2 Tbsp chopped cilantro

 

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper and cook until onions and peppers are softened. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Push the vegetables to the edge of one side of the pan and position that side of the pan so that it is off the burner, away from the heat. The empty part of the pan should be right over the burner. Put crumpled chunks of ground turkey in the pan, sprinkle with salt and chipotle or chili powder. Cook the turkey without stirring until it is browned on one side, then turn the pieces over to brown the other side. Once the turkey is just cooked through, stir in the onions and peppers, and sprinkle with more salt and chili powder to taste. Remove from heat. Stir in fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve alone, or with steamed rice or noodles.
