Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and break apart with a spatula. Add a pinch of salt. Cook until meat is nearly cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove excess liquid from pan.
Push turkey meat to one side of the skillet. Add red pepper, onion, green beans, and garlic. Mix meat and vegetables together and saute for 3-4 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add seasoning and salsa. Mix ingredients in skillet until evenly distributed. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 6-7 minutes or until green beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
Serve over rice, quinoa, or pasta! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

I use the Smoke Seasoning Blend Grinder from Trader Joe’s. This is a blend of paprika flakes, sea salt, garlic, and basil. If you want to make this seasoning at home, try 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of dried basil, and a pinch of salt.
