# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Warm up the olive oil in a big skillet on medium heat. Toss in your chopped onions and let them cook until they're soft and clear, about 3 minutes. Add your chopped garlic and stir for another 30 seconds until you can smell it.
02 -
Drop the ground turkey into your pan. Break it into tiny bits with your spoon. Keep cooking until it's no longer pink, around 5-6 minutes.
03 -
Toss in your smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well so the turkey gets coated with all the spices. Throw in your bell pepper strips and stir everything together. Let the peppers cook for 3-4 minutes until they're a bit soft but still crispy.
04 -
Add the chicken broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce to the mix. Stir everything well and let it bubble gently for 2-3 minutes so all the flavors can come together.
05 -
Cut the heat and squeeze your lime juice over everything for some fresh flavor. Sprinkle with your chopped herbs. Serve right away by itself or with something on the side.
