  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges
  • Cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice (for low-carb options)

Instructions

  1. Start by dicing the onion and bell pepper, then set aside. Mince the garlic. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper for bold flavor.
  3. Once the turkey is cooked and seasoned, stir in cherry tomatoes to add freshness and color. Allow everything to simmer for 2-3 minutes for flavors to meld.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare your choice of rice. For a healthier twist, opt for cooked cauliflower rice. You can find a delicious recipe for rice variations here.
  5. Layer your cooked rice at the bottom of a bowl, then top with the turkey mixture. Garnish with chopped cilantro and your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime.
