• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the turkey is completely browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the turkey is evenly coated with the spices.

Step 6

Add the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers, as well as the diced carrot, to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and cooked rice, stirring everything together until well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful and colorful rice and turkey dish!
