Ground Turkey and Peppers with Noodles

Ground Turkey and Peppers with Noodles
Olive oil
1 cup chopped onion and green onions
1 bell pepper (red or yellow preferred), chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Sea Salt
1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder (or to taste)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro


1 Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper and cook until onions and peppers are softened, a couple minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.

2 Push the vegetables to the edge of one side of the pan and position that side of the pan so that it is off the burner, away from the heat. The empty part of the pan should be right over the burner. Add one or two more tablespoons of oil to coat the empty part of the pan. Put crumpled chunks of ground turkey in the pan, sprinkle with sea salt and chipotle or chili powder.

3 Cook the turkey without stirring until it is browned on one side, then turn the pieces over to brown the other side. Once the turkey is just cooked through, stir in the onions and peppers, and sprinkle with more salt and chili powder to taste. Remove from heat. Stir in fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.

Serve with gluten free noodles. One of my favorite brands is Tinkyada Pasta Joy - Fettucini Style Brown Rice (Wheat Free & Gluten Free noodles.
