Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Knife

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 red bell pepper diced

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into pieces, until mostly cooked through but still slightly pink, about 5 minutes.
