Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 red bell pepper (diced)
• 1.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounce, undrained)
• 1 can black beans (15 ounce, rinsed and drained)
• 1 can corn (15 ounce, drained)
• 2 cup chicken broth
• 1.5 cup white rice (uncooked)
• 1.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in the yellow onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken broth, and uncooked white rice. Stir to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
6. Remove from heat, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and cover the skillet for 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.

Notes

Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
