  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color you prefer)
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

  4. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the drained diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until the flavors meld together.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top. Give it a gentle stir.
  7. Serve the Low Carb Turkey Taco Skillet hot, garnished with sliced avocado and lime wedges if desired. This versatile dish can be enjoyed on its own or served with cauliflower rice, lettuce wraps, or low-carb tortillas.
