Mom’s Ground Turkey and Peppers

I’m smiling as I write that. Why? considering there is no dish that reminds me more of my mother than her ground turkey with peppers. I’ve never had it anywhere but at home, not even at a school cafeteria, where God knows they’ve served every other budget meal known to mankind. Did my mother invent it? Probably not, but she may just as well have. We’ve eaten that in our house at least once a month for nearly 50 years. And you know what? It’s good. It’s cheap (especially ground turkey thighs

which have the added benefit of more flavor). It can be cooked in the day it takes to compose 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 smokey flavor of chipotle powder.
