Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is mostly cooked through but still slightly pink, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced green bell pepper, and 2 sliced green onions to the skillet; stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, then add 3 minced garlic cloves. Continue cooking until the peppers are softened and the turkey is fully cooked with no pink remaining, about 3 more minutes (about 5 minutes total for the peppers).
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more to meld the flavors.
  4. Serve hot over rice or pasta.
