Description

A simple recipe for a nutritious turkey taco bowl.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet low-sodium taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 4 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (as sour cream substitute)
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  5. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  7. Divide the shredded lettuce among four bowls.
  8. Spoon the turkey mixture over the lettuce in each bowl.
  9. Top each bowl with chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium broth instead of water for extra flavor when cooking the turkey.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the finished bowl for brightness.
