INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook the Brown Rice: In a medium-sized saucepan, prepare the instant brown rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside when done.

Cook the Ground Turkey: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the extra-lean ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, until it's no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Add the Chopped Onion: Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes tender.

Combine Salsa and Tomato Sauce: Stir in the salsa and the can of no-salt-added tomato sauce into the skillet. Mix them well with the cooked turkey and onions.

Season and Simmer: Add the reduced-sodium chicken bouillon granules and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, ensuring it's heated through.

Serve: Serve the turkey and tomato sauce mixture over the cooked brown rice.

Add Toppings: Top each serving with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream.

If desired, garnish with optional toppings like chopped tomatoes, baked tortilla chips, and sliced ripe olives.
