Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping vegetables and mincing garlic. If making cauliflower rice from scratch, process fresh cauliflower until it resembles rice.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare cauliflower rice according to package directions while the turkey mixture simmers.
- Combine cooked cauliflower rice with the turkey mixture for the last few minutes of cooking or serve separately as desired.
- Season the combined mixture with soy sauce and optional sesame oil before serving.
