A quick and delicious one-pan meal featuring ground turkey, black beans, and cheese, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream (for serving, optional)
- Tortilla chips (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper is tender.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), taco seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the corn and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream and tortilla chips if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the skillet.
- Substitute ground turkey with ground beef, chicken, or a plant-based meat alternative for different flavor profiles.
