Turkey Taco Skillet

This is one of the easiest and quickest dinner recipes! It’s full of veggies and flavor - and the best part is it only requires one dish. If you don’t do cheese, add a drizzle of full-fat coconut milk across the top with a spoon for richness and creaminess. This is my go-to meal when I’m tight on time and low on ideas.

Ingredients

• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen cauliflower rice
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1 cup black beans
• 1 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 3/4 tsp chili powder
• 3/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup - 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 Tbl oil when hot.
2. Brown turkey in the pan until no longer pink, then remove from pan and set aside.
3. Reheat pan and add remaining 1 Tbl oil.
4. Add onion, pepper and zucchini, saute until onion is translucent.
5. Add garlic, stir, then add cauliflower rice and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
6. Add turkey back onto skillet, along with beans.

8. Reduce heat to low, add cheese over top, then cover with a lid and allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Notes:

1. For ground turkey, I do not advise extra lean or white-meat only as this type of turkey is incredibly dry and flavorless. Try to choose something that is dark meat or a blend or dark and white.
