Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    1 pound Ground Turkey

Vegetables

  • 1
    1 medium Onion
  • 2
    2 cloves Garlic Cloves
  • 3
    1 medium Bell Pepper

Grains and Legumes

  • 1
    1 cup Cooked Brown Rice
  • 2
    0.5 cup Black Beans

Seasoning

  • 1
    2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • 2
    0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 3
    0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Toppings

  • 1
    0.25 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2
    0.25 cup Salsa
  • 3
    0.25 medium Avocado
  • 4
    0.125 cup Sour Cream
  • 5
    0.125 cup Cilantro

Oil

  • 1
    1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Directions

1

Prep Vegetables

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Dice the bell pepper. Set aside. Dicing means to cut the vegetables into small, uniform cubes, while mincing refers to chopping into very small pieces.

2

Sauté Onion

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. A skillet is a flat-bottomed pan used for frying and sautéing. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. This process is called sauteing, and will make the onion more flavorful. Watch out for hot surfaces during the cooking process.

3

Add Garlic and Bell Pepper

Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; when garlic is overcooked, it tastes bitter. You will smell the fragrant aroma of garlic as it cooks.

Cook Ground Turkey

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon or spatula. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, making sure to break up any large clumps as it cooks.

5

Season the Turkey

Drain off any excess grease from the skillet. This will reduce the overall fat content. Add the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey evenly. Cook for 2 minutes. The mixture should be fragrant. Be careful not to overcook the spices, or they could taste bitter.

6

Add Rice and Beans

Add the cooked brown rice and black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until heated through. If you use canned beans, be sure to rinse them before adding them into the skillet.

7

Assemble the Bowls

Divide the turkey mixture into bowls. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, sliced avocado, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

  • Use pre-cooked brown rice for a faster meal preparation.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the turkey mixture before serving.
  • Substitute ground beef or chicken for ground turkey if desired.
  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your taste.
  • Store leftover cooked turkey mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
