A quick and easy 30-minute dinner featuring juicy ground turkey and caramelized bell peppers roasted on a single sheet pan. Served over rice with your favorite toppings, this budget-friendly meal is perfect for busy weeknights and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • Juice of 1–2 limes
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • Toppings: sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, avocado, salsa, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, sliced bell peppers, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned turkey and veggie mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in an even, single layer. Break up the ground turkey into smaller clumps.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and break up any large clumps of turkey. Return to oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes, until turkey is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and peppers are tender with lightly charred edges.
  5. Remove from oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Toss gently to combine. Serve immediately over cooked rice with desired toppings.

Notes

For extra caramelization, remove turkey from pan after 15 minutes, roast peppers and onions for 5 more minutes, then add turkey back. Use 93% lean turkey to prevent dryness. Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure browning instead of steaming. Fresh lime juice is essential for brightening flavors.
