Instructions

  • Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add diced carrots and pepper. Sauté for about 7–10 minutes or until the vegetables are softened. (Take your time here or you’ll have crunchy veggies!)
  • Add the ground turkey to the pan. Cook and break it up. As it turns from pink to light brown, add all the spices. Continue cooking and crumbling the turkey until fully browned. If there’s excess liquid, drain it off.
  • Pour in chicken broth (as much as needed) to deglaze the pan and moisten turkey. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the broth has evaporated. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve over rice with your favorite sides or toppings.

Notes

Note 1: Try over cooked rice with a scoop of guacamole or diced avocado and cilantro-lime sauce (store-bought option) or add meat to charred tortillas with guac or avocado and sauce. More ideas in blog post.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days. To reheat, microwave in 30-second intervals or heat in a skillet until warmed through.
Meal Prep: Divide cooked grain of choice and equal portions of this meat mixture in 4 separate meal prep containers for convenient, nutritious meals throughout the week.
