INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
    • 🍅 1 tomato, chopped
    • 🧅 1 small onion, chopped
    • ¾ green bell pepper, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 4 ounces tomato paste
    • 🍋 1 lemon, juiced
    • 6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
    • 6 slices American cheese (Optional)

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

2

Break ground turkey into the pot. Cover pot with lid and cook meat until browned on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slivered wooden spoon, break meat up into very small pieces. Continue to cook and stir until nearly completely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

3

Stir tomato, onion, green bell pepper, parsley, and red pepper flakes into the turkey mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the tomato softens, 3 to 4 minutes.

4

Add tomato paste and lemon juice. Stir to coat vegetables with tomato paste. Cover pot with lid, reduce heat to low, and cook until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

5

Serve on toasted hamburger buns topped with cheese.
