Mom’s Ground Turkey and Peppers

Image
This 1-pot ground turkey and peppers recipe is quick and easy! Sautéed ground turkey with onions, garlic, bell peppers, and seasoned with chipotle chili. I’m smiling as I write this. Why? Because there is no dish that reminds me more of my mother than her ground turkey with peppers. I’ve never had it anywhere but at home, not even at a school cafeteria, where God knows they’ve served every other budget meal known to mankind. Did my mother invent it? Probably not, but she may just as well have. We’ve eaten this ground turkey recipe in our house at least once a month for almost 50 years. And you know what? It’s  good . It’s cheap (especially ground turkey thighs which have the added benefit of more flavor). It can be cooked in the time it takes to make some rice or pasta to go with it. ⇆ For years she seasoned the ground turkey with chili powder or chopped pickled jalapeños. These days she likes to add the smoky flavor of chipotle powder. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR GROUND TURKEY AND PEPPERS Mom

Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

Image
This Homemade Pepperoni Pizza has everything you want—a great crust (hint: you need a super hot oven), gooey cheese, and tons of pepperoni. Who needs delivery? My kids love pizza, so pepperoni pizza is usually a surefire dinner win. But if I’m being honest, I rarely  make  pizza for my kids. I view pizza as a cheat night for me, and I get delivery. So when I decided to make pizza at home, I knew it needed to be better than your average delivery. It needed tons of pepperoni, a nice crust, great flavor, and maybe even a surprise or two to put it over the top. THE BEST DOUGH FOR PIZZA First, on the dough: Don’t get overwhelmed!  If it’s your first time making pizza at home, just buy the dough . You can usually find pizza dough at the grocery store, or some pizza places will sell you a one-pound ball of dough for a few bucks. If you want to try homemade pizza dough, start with a no-knead version. It’s very easy to make and practically failsafe. ⇆ TWO OPTIONS FOR A CRISPY CRUST I don’t beli
