Instructions

Rinse the rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear and transfer it to a medium saucepan. Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce to low and cover. Let cook 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, add the oil and brown the turkey over medium heat.

Add the bell pepper, corn, salsa, taco seasoning and 1 cup water. Simmer 5 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated and peppers are tender crisp.

Remove the lid from the rice, add cilantro, and squeeze lime juice from the lime over the rice and stir to combine.

To serve, divide the rice and turkey mixture over 4 bowls and add toppings as desired.
