- Blend red bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, and Scotch Bonnet pepper using a chopper.
- Set the blended mix aside.
- Use turkey (or chicken as an alternative).
- Remove skin and bones, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, and save the scraps for future meat stock.
- Season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chicken stock cubes, and pepper. Let it marinate.
- Slice red and green bell peppers, carrots, and onions into thin slices.
- Mince garlic and optionally add mushrooms.
- Fry turkey in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which prevents proper browning.
- Alternatives include using an air fryer, oven, or grill for a healthier option.
- Sauté onions and garlic, then add the blended pepper mix.
- Cook the mix to eliminate the sour taste of tomatoes, seasoning with salt, chicken seasoning cubes, and pepper. Fry for about 10 minutes.
- Boil spaghetti in salted water for about 6 minutes or until al dente.
- Save some pasta water before draining.
- Mix the fried turkey, cooked pepper mix, and vegetables. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes to cook the veggies slightly.
- Add cooked pasta and reserved pasta water (or regular water) to blend everything.
- Stir until the pasta absorbs the sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!
