Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink.
  • Stir in the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey mixture and stir to coat. Add the rice, chicken broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and frozen corn.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  • Divide the mixture among four bowls and top each with shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge.

Notes

If the rice absorbs the liquid too quickly during simmering, add a small splash of broth to keep it from sticking. Leftovers reheat best in a covered skillet with a tablespoon of water to restore moisture. The avocado and lime are best added right before serving so they stay fresh and bright.
