Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack or cheddar, for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high. Crumble in turkey, spread into a layer, and let it brown undisturbed for 2 minutes, then break up and cook until no pink remains, about 5 minutes total.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, push turkey to the sides, and cook onion and bell pepper in the center for 4 minutes until softening. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt over the mixture, stir, and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in tomatoes with juices, the rinsed rice, and broth. Scrape up any browned bits, bring to a boil, cover tightly, and reduce heat to low. Simmer 18 minutes without lifting the lid.
  5. Remove lid, scatter black beans and corn on top, and fold them in with a fork while fluffing the rice. Cover and let sit off heat for 2 minutes, then serve hot topped with cheese and cilantro.

Notes

Any leftovers will firm up as they sit because the rice continues to absorb moisture. When you reheat, stir in a tablespoon or two of broth to bring back the just-cooked texture.
