Turkey Salsa Skillet

Ground turkey is a great low-calorie, low-fat substitute for ground beef in this simple skillet meal. If you use mild salsa, as I do, this makes a good kid-friendly meal on a busy weekday night. Blessings...

Recipe:

3/4 lb. ground turkey
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup instant brown rice
1 16-oz. jar thick and chunky salsa
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salsa salad seasoning or chili powder
1 16-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup water

1. In large skillet over medium heat, cook turkey, onion and garlic until turkey is no longer pink and onion is transparent.
2. Add remaining ingredients to skillet; stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice and corn are tender.

Yield: 6-3/4 cups
