Hi Everyone!

Today, I am sharing a delicious recipe for a southwest turkey and rice bowl. I got this idea from Pinterest from thelifejolie.com. This recipe is another great one to use for meal prep. 

Ingredients (6 Servings)

1 Tbsp Cooking Oil (I used spray vegetable)

½ Cup Diced Onion 

2 Minced Garlic Cloves 

1 Pound Ground Turkey

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Pepper 

1 tsp Chili Powder

½ tsp Cumin 

1 tsp Dried Cilantro 

1 Can (10 Oz) Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chilies

1 Can (4 Oz) Mild Diced Green Chilies

1 Can (15 Oz) Pinto Beans (rinsed)

1 Cup Frozen Corn 

2 Cups Cooked Jasmine Rice 

Add-ins Optional: 

¼ Cup Cheddar Cheese 

Scallions (to taste)

Lime Juice (to taste)

Tortilla Chips

Recipe

1. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of cooking oil.
2. Sauté onion for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly.
3. Add garlic and continue to stir for 30 seconds.
4. Add ground turkey, breaking it up and sautéing until browned. This should be about 5 minutes. 
5. Drain excess liquid. Add in salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and cilantro. Continue to cook for 2 minutes.
6. Add in Rotel, green chilies, pinto beans, corn, and cooked rice. (If your skillet is not large enough, you can add the mixture to the rice after mixing together). 
7. Stir for 5 minutes to combine and heat through. 
8. Enjoy and add the optional add-ins if desired. 

Shane and I have been loving this meal. It is a switch up of our normal turkey bowls. It still has a great source of protein and veggies. It is very filling and is reheatable. I hope you like this meal prep idea as much as we do. Please let me know in the comments below, if you do. If you are interested in more healthy recipes please subscribe below.
