Equipment
- Large nonstick skillet
Ingredients
For the quinoa:
- 1 cup white quinoa
- 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
For the ground turkey skillet:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ sweet onion, peeled and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 14.5 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 chipotle in adobo, minced
- ½ cup chicken stock
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Let the quinoa cook until all the liquid evaporates. Remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Don't skip this step!
- While the quinoa cooks, start the ground turkey skillet. In a large 14-inch nonstick skillet, add one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and peppers. Sauté until softened and caramelized, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
- Add the ground turkey and spices, then use a spatula or wooden spoon to break it up. Cook and stir occasionally until all the turkey is cooked through.
- Add the fire roasted tomatoes, chipotle, and chicken stock to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Serve warm over quinoa.
