Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey or chicken
- 3 large Bell peppers (any color, diced)
- 1 medium Onion (diced)
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 1.5 cups Cooked brown rice
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove from heat.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy as a standalone dish or alongside a crisp green salad.
