Directions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once heated, add the finely chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Next, add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use your spatula to break it apart and cook until it's browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the diced tomato, tomato sauce, kosher salt, ground cumin, and bay leaves. Mix everything well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Next, stir in the green Spanish pitted olives and their brine. This adds a wonderful briny flavor that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
- Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together and create a rich, savory sauce. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once it's finished simmering, remove the bay leaves. If you like, stir in some fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
