How to make it

  1. 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. 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.

  3. 3

    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. 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.

  5. 5

    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!
