Ingredients
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it softens and becomes translucent.
2. Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
4. Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes, rinsed and drained black beans, and drained corn. Stir everything together well.
5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
6. Remove from heat. If using, stir in the fresh cilantro just before serving. Serve warm with whole wheat tortillas or brown rice.
