# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Warm up the olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onions and let them cook until they're soft and clear, around 3 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and let it cook for just 30 seconds until you can smell it.
02 -
Throw the ground turkey into your pan. Break it into tiny bits with your spoon. Keep cooking until you don't see any pink parts, about 5-6 minutes.
03 -
Toss in the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper. Mix everything so the turkey gets coated with all the spices. Add your bell pepper strips and stir it all together. Let the peppers cook for 3-4 minutes so they soften a bit but stay crunchy.
04 -
Add the chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce to the pan. Mix everything well and let it bubble gently for 2-3 minutes so all the flavors can blend together.
05 -
Turn off the stove and squeeze fresh lime juice over everything for extra flavor. Sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley on top. Enjoy right away by itself or with something on the side.

Want more liquid? Just add a splash more tomato sauce or chicken broth.
