Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup salsa

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the diced bell pepper, corn, black beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes until the bell peppers are tender.

      Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, start with a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Top with a generous amount of the turkey mixture.

        Add Toppings: Spoon salsa over the turkey, followed by diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

          Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick!
