Ingredients
  

  • 500 g lean ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 120 ml water
  • 500 g cooked rice
  • 240 g black beans drained and rinsed; about 1 x 15 oz / 425 g can
  • 150 g chopped tomatoes or salsa
  • 100 g shredded lettuce
  • 100 g plain Greek yogurt
  • lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Add cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, and salt. Continue cooking until no pink remains and the turkey reaches 74°C / 165°F.
  3. Add water and simmer for 2–3 minutes so the seasoning coats the turkey.
  4. Divide rice among bowls and top with turkey, black beans, lettuce, salsa, Greek yogurt, and lime.

Notes

For meal prep, keep lettuce, salsa, yogurt, and lime separate until serving. Nutrition is estimated from standard USDA reference ingredients and calculated per 1/4 recipe; the estimate assumes about 240 g drained black beans.
