Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

½ cup salsa

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1 avocado, sliced (for serving)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

    Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the ground turkey. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

        Stir in the bell pepper, black beans, corn, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

          Prepare your serving bowls by placing a scoop of cooked brown rice or quinoa at the bottom.

            Top the rice with the turkey and veggie mixture, then add a generous spoonful of salsa.

              Garnish with fresh cilantro and a few slices of avocado.

                Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
