About this recipe

Build colorful taco bowls with seasoned ground turkey, black beans, rice and fresh toppings. This is a customizable dinner rather than the lemon-garlic chicken rice bowls already on the site.

Season the turkey evenly

Break up the ground turkey as it cooks so the spices coat every bite. Adding a small amount of water with the spices creates a light coating. Ground turkey must reach 165°F.

Put toppings on at the end

Warm the rice, beans and corn before assembly, then finish with crisp lettuce, diced avocado and fresh tomatoes. The cool lime yogurt sauce balances the smoky spices.
