Equipment

  • 1 skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion diced, optional
  • 1/2 bell pepper diced, optional
  • 1 packet taco seasoning optional

Instructions

  • * If you want to add onions and green pepper add those first with the oil for a few minutes with oil to soften a bit. Then proceed with meat.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of oil to the pan to prevent the meat from sticking. Once the pan is hot, add ground turkey to the pan. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking until it is no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  • Add any seasonings or aromatics you'd like to the pan such as minced garlic, salt, pepper, taco seasoning or herbs. Stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked through.
