This meal is SO easy, our dog could make it!
This dish is great for evenings where you don't have a lot of time and it makes enough to have left overs or create future microwave dinners! Now, it uses ground turkey. I know...but, wipe that look of disgust off your face! It's a great, healthy alternative to ground beef, and you can't even tell it's ground turkey with everything that is in it.
Ingredients:
1 tsp of olive oil (if you have a nonstick pan, don't worry about this)
1 lb ground turkey (you know where I get mine cheap? ALDI!)
1 cup long-grain rice
1 cup of red kidney beans (canned, or fresh as look as you cook them first)
1 (7 ounce) can of corn kernels (again, canned and drained, or fresh off the cob!)
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (ALDI! Their Fit and Active brand)
1 1/4 cup of chunky salsa (however spicy you like it)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
If you don't have a nonstick pan, heat up olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. If you do have a nonstick pan, don't worry about the olive oil, just heat up the pan over medium heat. Start boiling water for rice (whatever your box calls for) in a small saucepan. Add ground turkey to skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. During this time, you should be able to add rice to sauce pan and cook until ready. Set rice aside if ready early.
Once turkey is nicely browned, drain excess oil, then add the rice, beans, corn and chicken brother. Stir to combine. Cover and Simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
Add salsa to turkey mixture and stir to combine. Top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese!
Super yummy and versatile! Serve as is in a bowl, serve in a tortilla, or scoop it up with tortilla chips! How ever you and your fellow gobblers like it. Makes a great meal for the following night, or freeze individual servings for easy microwave dinners.
