Ingredients

Directions

  1. Thaw the frozen turkey thighs completely, then remove skin and debone if necessary. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Dice 2 cups of onions into small pieces.
  3. Slice 2 green peppers into thin strips.
  4. Slice 1 red bell pepper into thin strips.
  5. Peel 2 tomatoes and dice them finely. Measure out 1 cup of water.
  6. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, green pepper strips, and red bell pepper strips. Sauté until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the turkey pieces, diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of water to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Cover the skillet and simmer on low-medium heat for 35 minutes, or until the turkey is tender and cooked through.
  10. Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces and thickens to your desired consistency.
