A vibrant and satisfying dish that combines lean ground turkey, quinoa, and fresh vegetables for a nourishing and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup of quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup of diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, toss in the chopped onion and diced bell peppers. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the ground turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, roughly 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Introduce the flavors: Sprinkle in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey and veggies, and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
  4. Simmer with quinoa: Pour in the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Cook until tender: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed the liquid and is fluffy.
  6. Mix in the black beans: Once the quinoa is done, gently mix in the black beans. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
  7. Serve it up: Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
