Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 large bell peppers (any color), diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by washing and chopping the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Set aside.

    Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

      Sauté the Aromatics: Once the turkey is cooked through, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

        Add Peppers and Spices: Stir in the diced bell peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

          Incorporate Tomatoes and Corn: Pour in the diced tomatoes (along with their juices) and add the corn. Stir everything together, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you like it spicier, feel free to add some red pepper flakes.

              Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve warm in bowls or over rice, quinoa, or with warm tortillas for a delightful meal!
