Ingredients

  • 2 tsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Extra Lean Ground Turkey
  • 2 tbsps Taco Seasoning
  • 1 Yellow Onion (small, diced)
  • 2 Red Bell Pepper (large, chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Basmati Rice (dry, rinsed)
  • 1 3/4 cups Diced Tomatoes (from the can, with the juices)
  • 1 1/2 cups Beef Broth
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 4 ozs Cheddar Cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Mix in the taco seasoning and cook for seven to eight minutes or until cooked through.
  2. Add the onions and sauté for two to three minutes. Stir in the bell peppers and sauté for another two to three minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer partially covered for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
