Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup white or long-grain rice
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken or beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Step 4

Add the rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast it.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken or beef broth, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
