Description:
Ground turkey, rice, beans, salsa, and spices cook together in one skillet for a practical Tex-Mex dinner with easy toppings.
Ingredients:
- 1.00 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3.00 Clove garlic
- 1.00 Pound ground turkey
- 1.00 Cup yellow onion
- 2.00 Teaspoon chili powder
- 1.00 Teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.00 Cup long-grain white rice
- 1.00 Cup salsa
- 1.50 Cup chicken broth
- 1.00 Can black beans
- 0.75 Cup cheddar cheese
- 1.00 Tablespoon lime juice
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large lidded skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
- Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add the rice and stir for 1 minute so the grains are coated in the seasoned mixture.
- Stir in the salsa, broth, and black beans. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Rest covered for 5 minutes off the heat.
- Fluff the rice, add lime juice, sprinkle with cheese, and cover briefly until melted.
Notes:
- Use a skillet with a tight lid so the rice cooks evenly.
- If the rice is still firm, add 2 tablespoons broth and cook 3 to 5 minutes longer.
- Top with avocado, cilantro, sour cream, jalapenos, or crushed tortilla chips.
