Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet and cook until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, then mix in the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover the skillet. Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
