Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) ground turkey
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen corn (or canned, drained)
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained slightly
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
1/4 tsp ground coriander (optional, for a gentle warm note) — omit if you prefer
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for finishing
Optional: shredded cheese, avocado slices, or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium and add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent — this builds the base flavor.
2
Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, then add the ground turkey. Break it up and brown about 4–5 minutes until no longer pink.
3
Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, oregano, (optional coriander), red pepper flakes (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute to toast the spices.
4
Add the diced tomatoes and corn, stir, and simmer 3–4 minutes until heated through and saucy. Taste and adjust seasoning; a little lemon juice or a splash of soy sauce can brighten and deepen flavor if needed.
5
Finish with chopped parsley or cilantro and top with cheese or avocado if you like. Serve over rice, pasta, in tortillas, or with crusty bread.
