Equipment

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 red bell pepper seeds and stem removed, diced
1 yellow bell pepper seeds and stem removed, diced
1 medium yellow onion diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
15 ounces diced tomatoes with juices
15 ounces chickpeas drained and rinsed
1-2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 cups fresh spinach
2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

Cook the ground turkey. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey. Break apart the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the peppers, onions, and seasonings. Add diced bell peppers, onions, garlic powder, red pepper flakes to the skillet. Saute for 7 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Add diced tomatoes and chickpeas. Continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Stir in the spinach. Add spinach and let it wilt for 2-3 minutes. Let the entire mixture of flavors come together.
Serve. Serve hot over rice.

Notes

If you use a non-stick skillet, you'll prevent sticking and make clean-up fast and easy.

Be careful that your veggies don't get overcooked. They should be slightly crisp and just nicely tender.

Add more or less red pepper flakes to adjust the spice level to your liking.

If you need a lower-carb option, skip the rice and serve this skillet over cauliflower rice instead.
