Fiesta Ground Turkey Skillet

Dinner tonight was ultimately very good. All I had planned was a salad and a chub of uncooked ground turkey! So, I had to make a plan. I found a recipe on Allrecipes.com and modified it to make it low carb. The original recipe was Fiesta Fry Pan Dinner Recipe, and by all means sounds yummy. BUT it was definitely too high in carbs. To be honest, I didn't actually measure all of the spices. We love our meals a bit spicy, and so I probably used more spices then I listed here. But the point of the recipe is to make it to your taste, and use this as a "suggestion" of ingredients... 


Fiesta Ground Turkey Skillet


Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
1/4 C. Chopped Onion
1 Tbs. Garli Garni (you can use garlic powder, or any form of garlic to taste)

1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. dried cilantro leaves
1 tsp. red Chile pepper (optional)
1/2 Tbs. tomato paste
1 can fire roasted tomatoes (ok, any tomatoes will work)

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in medium skillet. Cook the pasta in a separate pan according to directions if you don't have nay on hand that's already cooked.
2. Sautee the onions until they have turned transparent, add turkey and cook until no longer pink.
