Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.

  3. Stir in the shredded leftover turkey and season with paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preferences. If you like it spicier, add more chili powder; if you prefer it milder, reduce the amount of paprika.

  6. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and the turkey is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.

  7. Serve the C Leftover Turkey over a bed of cooked rice or wrapped in warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.
