Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

Steps

1. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
