SOUTHWEST TURKEY, RICE AND BEAN STIR FRY



Southwest Turkey, Rice and Bean Stir Fry image

Easy quick and so much better than take out. I do make my own taco seasoning, but you can easily use just a package seasoning which makes this even easier. Sour cream makes this dish creamy and garnish with your favorites. Cheese, avocado, chopped olives or tomatoes, any of your favorites. This is a hearty, filling, satisfying dish.

Time 20m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups cooked rice
2 lbs ground turkey
1 large onion
1 green pepper, fine chopped
1 red pepper, fine chopped
1 (15 ounce) can mexicorn, NOT drained
1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans, drained
4 scallions, white and green parts chopped fine
1 cup sour cream
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages taco seasoning (my package was actually 1.7 oz each, I used 2)
1/4-1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, fine chopped (parsley is fine)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper
black olives, chopped
avocado, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
cheese

Steps:

  • Rice -- Cook the rice according to the package directions (You can use any rice you want), I often use a boil in bag for convenience. I have also made this with leftover Chinese rice too.
  • Turkey -- As the rice cooks, brown the turkey in a medium size pan. I love non stick for this dish. Add the olive oil to the non stick pan on medium to medium high heat and brown the turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until it is no longer pink. Remove the turkey to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any extra oil. Set this to the side. Keep any drippings in the pan to saute the vegetables.
  • Vegetables -- Keep the heat on medium high heat and add the red pepper, green pepper, onion, and garlic and saute until the peppers become soft. It should take around 3-4 minutes.
  • Beans and Seasoning -- Add the taco seasoning and water (start with 1/4 cup water, you can always add more) to the vegetables and stir well to combine. Add the beans and corn and mix well.
  • Turkey -- Add the turkey back in along with the scallions, cilantro and the cooked rice.
  • Finish -- Reduce the heat to medium low. Remove the pan to the side and add the sour cream and stir inches Return to the heat just to warm up. It will only take a minute.
  • Serve -- Garnish with grated cheese, avocado, black olives, tomatoes or anything you want. A few nacho chips are also great served with this.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. If possible, use organic produce and free-range poultry and meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a high-quality oil: The type of oil you use will also affect the taste of your stir-fry. Use a high-quality oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you're making a large batch of stir-fry, it's best to stir-fry the food in batches. This will help to prevent the food from becoming overcooked.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the final touch to your stir-fry. Add it at the end of the cooking process, once the vegetables and protein are cooked through.
