Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, avocado slices
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add ground turkey and cook 5–6 minutes, breaking into crumbles, until browned.
- Stir in taco seasoning, corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes with juice. Simmer 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in cherry tomatoes.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, or avocado.

- Make it vegetarian by swapping turkey for 2 cups cooked lentils or plant-based ground “meat.”
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat nicely.
