  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add ground turkey, breaking it apart while cooking until browned (approximately 5-6 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
