Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey (99% lean)
1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
1 red bell pepper (medium, seeded and diced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
2 Roma tomatoes (medium, diced)
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 package microwave brown rice

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper; sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
Add 1 pound ground turkey and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Stir in 2 diced Roma tomatoes, 1 can drained black beans, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and flavors blend.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
Heat the 2 packages of microwave brown rice according to package directions (about 90 seconds per pouch). Divide rice among four bowls and top with the warm turkey picadillo.
