Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 cup Couscous
- 1.25 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 medium Carrot, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Tortilla wraps (10-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Chili sauce or hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Fold the cooked couscous into the skillet with the turkey and vegetables. Mix well to combine. Stir in the chopped parsley, then remove from heat.
Warm the tortilla wraps slightly in a microwave or on a non-stick skillet for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
Spoon an equal portion of the turkey-couscous mixture onto the center of each tortilla wrap. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a cylindrical shape.
Slice each roll-up in half for serving, if desired. Serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt for dipping and chili sauce for an optional spicy kick.
