Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)

– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
– 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

Instructions

Creating Turkey Taco Rice Bowls is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2. Brown the Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully browned.
3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked turkey. Stir in the diced tomatoes and corn. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
4. Prepare the Bowls: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Divide the rice among serving bowls.
5. Top with Turkey Mixture: Spoon the seasoned turkey mixture generously over each rice portion.
6. Add Fresh Toppings: Top each bowl with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese.
7. Garnish and Serve: Add a dollop of sour cream if desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
