Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Absolutely, I do this all the time when I want a lighter option. Just know the flavor will be milder, so I usually bump up the garlic and spices a bit. And since turkey is leaner, you might need an extra drizzle of olive oil. Same cooking method though – easy swap.

How can I make this spicier?

Oh, I love this question. My favorite ways to turn up the heat: add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic, or stir in a diced jalapeño with the bell peppers. If you really want to go for it, a dash of cayenne or chipotle powder will do the trick. Start small – you can always add more.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

You bet, This skillet freezes like a dream. Just cool it completely, then portion it into freezer-safe containers (leave some headspace). It'll keep for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat with a splash of broth to bring it back to life. Tastes just as good as fresh.
