Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey (99% lean)
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
1 can black beans (15 ounce, rinsed and drained)
1.5 cup brown rice (uncooked)
2.5 cup water
0.75 cup salsa (no-sugar-added)
3 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

Prepare the brown rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups brown rice and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While rice cooks, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, draining any liquid. Add diced yellow onion and minced garlic, cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and stir in rinsed and drained black beans. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Stir in 3/4 cup no-sugar-added salsa.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh cilantro. Serve the turkey mixture over the brown rice. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste.

Notes

Ensure your salsa has no added sugar to stay within the dietary guidelines. Store leftovers for future quick lunches.
