1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup cubed red pepper
1 cup cubed yellow pepper
1 cup thickly sliced fresh mushrooms

In large bowl, combine turkey, onion, Italian seasoning, and salt.

Remove meatballs and keep warm. Using drippings in skillet, saute peppers, mushrooms and garlic with bouillon cube for 2 to 3 minutes.
