This compares to mental health as the first concern, muscle and bone problems as the second, and weight as the third among White members. Check out our calendar for our upcoming health-related services, classes, and events. |

The Pantry Gourmet
Welcome to "The Pantry Gourmet!" Discover quick and easy recipes made with items community members can likely find in our food pantry.
Ground Turkey & Peppers This week The Pantry Gourmet is featuring a ground turkey and peppers recipe that brings hearty flavor and vibrant colors to your dinner table. It is also quick, easy, and delicious, which is perfect for busy weeknights! Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- Some chopped greens from green onions, if you have any
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow preferred), chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound ground turkey, preferably ground turkey thighs
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions: - Sauté the onions, bell pepper, and garlic:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper and cook until onions and peppers are softened, a couple minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
- Add ground turkey, salt, and chipotle chili powder:
- Push the vegetables to the edge of one side of the pan and position that side of the pan so that it is off the burner, away from the heat. The empty part of the pan should be right over the burner.
- Add one or two more tablespoons of oil to coat the empty part of the pan. Put crumpled chunks of ground turkey in the pan, sprinkle with salt and chipotle or chili powder.
- Brown the turkey, then stir in the peppers and onions:
- Cook the turkey without stirring until it is browned on one side, then turn the pieces over to brown the other side.
- Once the turkey is just cooked through, stir in the onions and peppers, and sprinkle with more salt and chili powder to taste. Remove from heat.
- Stir in fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.
- Serve alone, or with steamed rice or noodles.
