Main Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey Use lean ground turkey for a healthier option.
1 cup diced tomatoes Canned or fresh tomatoes work well.
1 can black beans Rinsed and drained.
1 can corn Drained.
1 packet taco seasoning Use low-sodium or homemade seasoning for better control over salt.
1 onion chopped (yellow or sweet)
1 bell pepper diced (any color) For sweetness, you can mix red and orange peppers.
Salt and pepper to taste Adjust as necessary.
1 tbsp olive oil Used for sautéing.

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and diced bell pepper; cook until softened and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Push vegetables to the side; add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over turkey and stir to coat evenly.
Pour in diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn; stir to combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Serve in warmed tortillas, over rice, or in a bowl with your favorite toppings.
