INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS
- Prep the veggies: Dice your onion and bell peppers. Mince the garlic if you haven’t already.
- Sauté the base: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers, cooking until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
- Add garlic and turkey: Stir in garlic and ground turkey. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned.
- Season: Add taco seasoning and stir everything to coat the meat and veggies well.
- Add beans and corn: Toss in the black beans and corn. Stir everything to combine.
- Add salsa or tomato paste (optional): If using, stir in now with a splash of water if needed.
