This versatile dish goes together fast since it's made with quick-cooking barley. You can make it with ground turkey or chicken and any color bell pepper that you have on hand. —Irene Tetreault, South Hadley, Massachusetts

Test Kitchen tips

This dish goes together fast and is really versatile. It can be made with ground turkey or chicken, or stir in leftover cooked meat toward the end of cooking.

The texture is thick and hearty. If you want it more stew-like, add another can of diced tomatoes.
