Who doesnβt love a good fajita? Moving to Texas, I was introduced to fajitas and Latin American food right from the start, and was always in awe when the waiters brought up the sizzling pans from the kitchen. However, being German, I have the problem that I cannot eat very spicy, and I have an intolerance to garlic and onion (I envy my parents because they do not π₯Ί).
Today I will be sharing 2 ways to make turkey fajitas! One for those who love alliums and one for those like me who cannot eat garlic and onion π€ͺ
You can swap any other protein for the turkey, such as sliced chicken breast or steak. I used turkey fajita strips that I got from Northstar Bison, you can use my referral link to save on your order, but I also love US Wellness Meats or Primal Pastures!
My guide to buying meat is here!
This dish is super yummy with jicama fries and guacamole π₯
Version 1: Herby Baked Turkey and Bell Pepper Strips π¦
My version of the recipe is my take on turkey fajita strips with colorful bell peppers, and a handful of herbs and my beloved sea salt and ghee! This meal is full of colorful antioxidants and polyphenols from the veggies, healthy fats from the meat and ghee, and a great source of animal based protein, which is essential for optimal body function!
You can use any herbs you like but I decided to use chives and basil: bell pepper and the chives caramelize together with the sea salt flakes and create such a powerful flavor π
To make this you need (about 2-3 portions):
1 package of turkey fajita strips (Northstar Bison sells them in 1 Pound packages) π¦
3 bell peppers, the more color the better π«πΆ
Sea Salt flakes π§
Pepper
Herbs of your choice: I love chives and basil πΏ
Ghee π§
How to:
Preheat the oven to 400Β°, and chop bell pepper into slices and drizzle with ghee, salt, pepper, and chopped chives.
Bake at 350Β° for 30 Minutes in a casserole like dish.
Heat up ghee in a pan, and sear the turkey strips.
When those are browned, add salt and pepper, and remove the bell pepper from the oven. Add in the turkey strips, drizzle with more ghee and add the basil, and more salt flakes. Bake another 10 minutes and enjoy! They are super yummy with avocado slices and Chosen Foods Keto Mayo π
Traditional Onion and Pepper Turkey Fajitas π¦:
This version is full of onion and garlic for those who love it a bit more savory! Like the other recipe, they go in the oven!
To make this you need similar ingredients:
1 package of turkey fajita strips (Northstar Bison sells them in 1 Pound packages) π¦
Colorful bell peppers π«
Handful of cherry tomatoes π
Onions: either green onions or regular onions π§
An ancestral fat like Duck Fat
Grass-fed garlic butter π§ or use my recipe
Salt and pepper π§
Primal Palate Taco Seasoning
Garlic and Herb Seasoning
How to:
Preheat the oven to 400Β°, and chop bell pepper and onions into slices and drizzle with garlic butter, salt, pepper, and chopped chives. This time I chose green onions but any onion works.
Bake at 350Β° for 30 Minutes in a casserole like dish.
Sear the turkey strips in an ancestral fat like duck fat, when those are crispy. Season with the garlic and herb and taco seasoning. Add those to the oven dish and bake for another 10 minutes!
Serve with a tortilla swap and more grilled veggies π
Left overs also work well for the next day, and can be enjoyed for breakfast with eggs or in a fat fueled lunch salad πͺπ»
