Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey (lean)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (small, diced)
• 1 red bell pepper (small, diced)
• 2 cup black beans (cooked, rinsed)
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes (unsalted, drained)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder (mild)
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 cup brown rice (cooked)
• 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 lime (cut into wedges)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add 1 small diced yellow onion and 1 small diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 2 cups cooked black beans, 1/2 cup unsalted diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
4. While the turkey mixture simmers, warm up the 2 cups cooked brown rice if not already warm.
5. Divide the brown rice among 4 bowls. Top each with the turkey and black bean mixture. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and serve with a lime wedge.
