5Hearty Southwest Turkey Skillet
This quick and hearty skillet meal is loaded with lean protein and vibrant flavors, perfect for a satisfying dinner.
How to make it
- 1
Grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add your lean ground turkey and break it up with a spoon. Cook until it is nicely browned and fully cooked, which usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes.
- 2
While the turkey cooks, chop your red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Once the turkey is cooked, drain off any excess fat, then toss in the diced bell pepper, rinsed black beans, and frozen corn kernels.

Stir everything together well. Let it cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper softens just a bit and the corn is heated through.
- 4
Pour in the salsa. Give it another good stir and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 3 to 5 minutes, allowing all those lovely flavors to meld together.

Serve your hearty Southwest Turkey Skillet warm. It is fantastic on its own or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if you have some extra. Enjoy!
