Description

Quick, nutritious, and delicious rice bowls combining ground turkey, beans, corn, and customizable toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning OR 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 cups cooked rice (brown or white)
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado slices, sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro (chopped), lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice according to package directions.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
