Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
  • ½ medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix or store-bought
  • 10 ounces Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies (I used mild)
  • 15 ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup frozen corn no need to thaw
  • 1 recipe Cilantro Lime Rice

Optional Toppings

  • cilantro, sour cream, avocado, hot sauce

Instructions

  • Add the vegetable oil to a 12-inch skillet and place it over MEDIUM heat. Add the ground turkey and bell pepper and cook, stirring to break up the ground turkey, until it is thoroughly cooked. Drain the excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat. Add the taco seasoning and Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes. Reduce the heat to LOW, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid from the diced tomatoes has been absorbed or cooked off.
  • Add the black beans and frozen corn. Cover and simmer for about 5 more minutes, or until the beans and corn are warmed through.
  • Serve over Cilantro Lime Rice with cilantro, sour cream, avocado, and hot sauce.

Notes

For a healthy serving of whole grains, serve the ground turkey taco mixture over cooked brown basmati rice.
Brown rice cooking instructions: Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to a 12-inch skillet that has a cover and place it over MEDIUM heat. Add 1½ cups brown basmati rice and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Add 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the skillet and simmer until all the broth has been absorbed and the rice is tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
