This Ground Turkey and Rice Skillet is a delicious, full-flavored one-pan meal. Made with taco spiced rice, beans, corn, and ground turkey, it’s a filling supper that easily fits into the routine of weeknight dinners.
One-pan dinners are the ultimate weeknight dinner hack (hello Homemade Hamburger Helper and Skillet Pizza Gnocchi). When I was developing this ground turkey and rice recipe, it was a goal to simplify the prep. I thought about adding some flavor with diced onions, bell peppers, and garlic, but then I realized that would require more chopping. So, I swapped them for a chunky tomato salsa (or Aji would ba amazing). It effortlessly gives that same tasty kick without all the knife work!.
With lean ground meat, protein, and vegetables, the resulting Taco Turkey Rice Skillet is a filling and somewhat healthy dish with a mildly spiced flavor that is more like taco seasoning than spicy.
