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

  • 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.
