Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium bell peppers (red and yellow), diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Make sure to have all your ingredients ready for a smooth cooking process.

    Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

      Cook the Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's browned and cooked through (approximately 6-8 minutes).

        Season the Mixture: Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey evenly with the spices.

          Add the Vegetables: Incorporate the diced bell peppers, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes into the skillet. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes until the peppers are tender and heated through.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may want to add a pinch more salt or a dash of chili powder for extra kick.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.

                Enjoy: This dish is perfect served over rice, in tortillas, or even alone as a colorful, hearty bowl meal.
