Gobbledy good turkey and peppers!

I had ground turkey and green bell peppers, so I decided to make a ground turkey and bell pepper concoction in the skillet.  For a side (or a carb),  I made cream cheese mashed potatoes, with red potatoes (SKIN ON...because that's where all the nutrients are). Nutrients are good for you :)

Skillet Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground turkey
1-2 bell peppers (any color...I used green)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tsp. cumin
1-2 tsp. ground cloves
Salt ( I used sea salt) and black pepper...to taste!

Directions:
Preheat skillet to 250-300 degrees.  Coat skillet with non-stick spray or EVOO.  Put garlic in, then put the ground turkey in skillet, breaking it apart a bit, so it cooks thoroughly.  Add the bell peppers.  Then add the spices.  Cook for about 15 mins. or so, until the meat is done and the peppers are just a little tender, but crispy.  Enjoy!

Cream cheese smashed potatoes:
4-8 oz. cream cheese
4-6 red potatoes
Black pepper to taste
1-2 tsp. butter (optional)

Directions:
Cut the potatoes in half.  Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover them with water.  Add a little salt.  Let  the potatoes come to a boil.  They will be done, when you can easily slip a fork in and out of them.  Drain.  Put them back in the saucepan.  Add remaining ingredients and smash those potatoes.  Enjoy!
