Cooking Instructions

  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart, and cook until fully browned (5-7 minutes), then drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), black beans, corn, and 1/2 cup water.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes to meld flavors and thicken the sauce.
  6. While the turkey mixture simmers, cook your rice according to package directions.
  7. Prepare all desired toppings by chopping lettuce, shredding cheese, dicing avocado, and other garnishes.
  8. Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.
