Reasons to Love This Skillet
- Quick & Easy: This super and easy to make and require very simple ingredients and equipment. I love me some one pan meals! It is a great meal prepping dish because it reheats excellent too!
- Macros/Nutritious: Turkey is a very lean meat and a healthier substitution for ground beef. It is relatively low in calories and high in protein! The dish as a whole is super well-balanced in macros and an easy way to get your protein, fats, carbs, and veggies all in one meal.
Nutritional Benefits
- Turkey: Ground turkey is rich in protein, vitamin B, and other minerals, such as zinc.
- Bell Peppers: Bell Peppers are an excellent source of Vitamin C (especially the bright red ones!!). They also contain Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidant properies.
- Jasmine Rice: Jasmine rice is rich in iron and can help in the production of red blood cells! Jasmine rice also has more protein and fiber than regular white rice.
Ingredients
- Turkey – 2 pounds of 90% lean ground turkey.
- Yellow Onion – 1 small yellow onion, finely diced.
- Bell Peppers – 3 large bell peppers, colors of choice.
- Chili Powder – 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder.
- Cayenne Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon.
- Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon.
- Oregano – 2 teaspoons of oregano, dried.

- Optional – Cheese for topping. Obviously omit the cheese if you are dairy free! I added about 1/4 cup on top. Macros below do not include the cheese.
How To Make It
- Preheat a large wok over medium/high heat. I used by HexClad 14″ Wok. Start cooking the ground turkey for 5 min or so. Add in your bell peppers, onion, and seasonings. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the meat is almost fully cooked.
- Add in your balsamic vinegar, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir until fully combined.
- Add in the jasmine rice and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Give it a good stir and enjoy! Melt a little bit of cheese on top of you would like as well if you are not dairy free.
