Equipment

9x13 casserole dish
vegetable chopper optional, but a real game changer

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 large onion chopped
2 large red bell pepper chopped
2 cloves garlic mince
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoon tomato paste
½ cup chicken broth
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups white rice cooked
2 cups Cheddar cheese shredded, divided
2 cups Mozzarella cheese shredded, divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Heat the ground turkey in a large pan over medium heat, season with salt and pepper, stir, and allow the turkey to cook.
Once the meat has almost fully cooked, add onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Allow them to soften slightly.
Next, add the garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine. Add in the tomato paste and stir. The mixture will be thick at this point.
Pour the chicken broth into the pan and stir. Add the diced tomatoes and cooked white rice, and sprinkle and mix half the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the meat mixture to the casserole dish and top with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Place the casserole in the oven in the center rack and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the sides are nice and bubbly. If desired, garnish with green onions or fresh parsley and serve.
