Ground Turkey Shakshuka
This ground turkey shakshuka is a simple, hearty one-pan meal made with tender vegetables, warm spices, rich tomatoes, eggs, and added ground turkey for extra protein. The sauce is cozy and flavorful with sweet bell pepper, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, and a little chili powder, while the eggs cook right into the tomato mixture until perfectly soft or set to your liking. Serve it with toasted sourdough or crusty baguette for dipping into the saucy, savory tomato base!
