Description

Ingredients

• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• ½ onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• ¼ pound lean ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ¾ teaspoon oregano
• ½ cup cooked brown rice (I used the quick cooking brown rice to make everything faster)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• Chopped cilantro for garnish!

Directions

• Add 1 teaspoon of your olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat
• When the pan is hot, add your ground turkey and season with salt and pepper
• Let the turkey brown in the pan, stirring occasionally until it is cooked through
• Meanwhile, cook your brown rice
• When your turkey is almost done, add ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon oregano. Stir to combine
• Set the turkey aside on a plate and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to your pan
• Add your veggies (pepper, onion, garlic) and season with salt and pepper. Add your cherry tomatoes in with the veggies after they have been cooking for a few minutes - stir to combine
• Let the veggies cook until they have softened. If it gets too dry, add a splash of water and stir together
• When the veggies are almost done, add the remaining spices (1/2 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon oregano)
• Add the turkey back into the veggies along with your ½ cup of cooked brown rice
• Add your lime juice and stir everything together. Season to taste
• Add your cheese - you can either stir it in or sprinkle it on top and melt under the broiler or in the microwave
