Ingredients

  • 1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
  • 3 cloves garlic I use frozen
  • 1 small yellow onion (160g) diced
  • 1 green bell pepper (150g) diced
  • 1 (15-oz.) can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14-oz.) can diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn (67g)
  • 3/4 cup water (180g)
  • 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa (135g)
  • 2 Tbsp Sazon seasoning store bought or homemade recipe in Notes section below
  • Optional for serving: diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro

Instructions

  • Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, breaking the meat with a wooden spoon as you go, for about 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil and garlic in the skillet. Once fragrant, add the diced onions and peppers and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.
  • Add the black beans, tomatoes, corn, water and quinoa; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the Sazon seasoning and ground turkey. Taste and add more salt or seasoning to preference.
  • Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, whatever sounds good and enjoy!
