Method

  1. Heat half of the oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the onions, peppers, and half of the salt and pepper to the pan.

  3. Cook and stir the mixture for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Set aside.

  4. Add the remaining oil to the pan.

  5. Crumble in the turkey and add the garlic, chili powder, and the remaining salt and pepper.

  6. Saute the mixture until the turkey is browned, which should take around 5 minutes.

  7. Stir in half of the chili sauce and all of the ketchup, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  8. Serve the meat and vegetable mixtures with tortillas, and provide separate bowls of the remaining chili sauce, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream for assembling your own fajitas.

  9. Optional twist 1: If desired, you can use ground chicken or lean ground beef instead of turkey for variations in the meat.

  10. Optional twist 2: To use up leftover cooked chicken or beef, substitute it for the ground turkey.

  11. Optional twist 3: If you want warm restaurant-style tortillas, wrap them first in a clean damp tea towel, then in foil, and warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for approximately 5 minutes.

  12. Optional twist 4: For a spicier flavor, add hot pepper sauce to taste.
