Ingredients

Scale

Fajita Ingredients

  • 1 package Honeysuckle White Southwest-Style Chipotle Ranchero Turkey Skillet Kit
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 large onion, sliced into strips
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

For Serving

  • warm corn tortillas
  • rice or lettuce cups (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Turkey: Remove seasoned turkey breast cutlets from the skillet kit and slice into long, thin strips. Cut open the sauté sauce packet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers, onions, and kosher salt. Cook while stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes until vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
  3. Set Vegetables Aside: Transfer the cooked peppers and onions to a large bowl, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm, and set aside.
  4. Cook Turkey Strips: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced turkey strips and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is fully cooked through and slightly browned.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the softened peppers and onions to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Pour in the sauté sauce and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and everything is heated through.
  6. Serve: Serve the turkey fajita mixture immediately in warm corn tortillas for tacos, over rice for burrito bowls, or in lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
