Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
0.5 cup bell pepper (diced, any color)
1 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 can canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
2 cup instant brown rice (cooked)
0.5 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
0.5 cup salsa
0.5 cup sour cream

Instructions

Cook the instant brown rice according to package directions, which typically takes 5 minutes of active cooking time.
While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey and 1/2 cup diced bell pepper. Cook, breaking up the turkey, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add 1 can rinsed and drained black beans and 1 cup thawed frozen corn to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked instant brown rice among 4 bowls. Top with the turkey and bean mixture. Garnish with optional 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup salsa, and 1/2 cup sour cream, if desired.

Notes

You can prepare the turkey and bean mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it gently before assembling your bowls for an even quicker meal.
