Ingredients

For 4 servings

Instructions

  1. Cook white rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork when done.
  2. Cook the ground turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes until browned. Season with cumin, paprika, and salt.
  3. Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them and the corn kernels to the turkey. Cook for 3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Slice the avocado and cut the lime into wedges.
  5. Assemble bowls with rice on the bottom, then the turkey and bean mixture. Top with sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime juice.

Cook’s notes

Cook the rice and the turkey mixture a day ahead and keep them in separate containers for up to 4 days; add the avocado and lime only when you eat. Ground chicken or a second can of beans can replace the turkey. A spoonful of salsa or sour cream on top adds moisture to reheated bowls.
