I’m smiling as I write this.
Because there is no dish that reminds me more of my mother than her ground turkey with peppers.

Did my mother invent it?
Probably not, but she may just as well have.
We’ve eaten this ground turkey recipe in our house at least once a month for almost 50 years.

And you know what?
It’s cheap (especially ground turkey thighs which have the added benefit of more flavor).
It can be cooked in the time it takes to make some rice or pasta to go with it.

For years she seasoned the ground turkey with chili powder or chopped pickled jalapenos.
These days she likes to add the smoky flavor of chipotle powder.
