Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup cooked rice white or brown

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Mix in the diced red and green bell peppers, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  5. Stir in the drained diced tomatoes and cooked rice, mixing well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and cover the skillet. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
