- 1 lb of ground turkey. You can use either 94% lean/ 6% fat blend or ground turkey breast which is 99% lean/ 1% fat. The turkey breast will be good but dryer.
- ½ onion chopped, 2 cloves of garlic minced
- ½ cup of diced carrots
- ½ cup of diced sweet peppers (optional)
- 1, 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes ( I used a “zesty jalapeno” blend)
- 1, 15.5 oz can of garbanzos drained and rinsed, 1+ cups of chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper.
- In large skillet, heat up 2 tbsps of olive oil.
- Saute onions, garlic, carrots and peppers until tender.
- Throw in ground turkey and break apart with spoon as it cooks.
- Once all the meat is broken apart and cooking, add bay leaf, can of garbanzos and can of diced tomatoes.
- Add chicken broth to moisten mixture and to keep ingredients submerged in sauce.
- Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes to allow seasoning to marry.
Enjoy alone or with some brown rice or tortilla chips! 🙂
