Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb lean ground turkey
0.5 cup yellow onion diced
0.5 cup green bell pepper diced
3 cloves garlic minced
8 ounce tomato sauce 1 can
0.25 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce, chicken broth, green olives, raisins, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm over cooked white rice, with warm tortillas, or as a taco filling.
