Creating the Unstuffed Pepper Skillet is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:

1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the meat is browned, add the diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.
6. Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as necessary.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and flavor.
8. Serve: Spoon the mixture onto plates or bowls and enjoy!
