  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper (or Zucchini), chopped

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Diced Tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth (or Vegetable Broth)

  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (or Tamari/Coconut Aminos)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (optional)
  • Fresh Cilantro or Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime Wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by chopping vegetables and mincing garlic. If making cauliflower rice from scratch, process fresh cauliflower until it resembles rice.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add yellow onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until translucent; add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink (about 7-10 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in bell peppers (or zucchini), smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper; cook for another 5-7 minutes until softened.
  5. Mix in diced tomatoes and tomato paste; pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Prepare cauliflower rice according to package directions while the turkey mixture simmers.
  7. Combine cooked cauliflower rice with the turkey mixture for the last few minutes of cooking or serve separately as desired.
  8. Season the combined mixture with soy sauce and optional sesame oil before serving.
