Ingredients
- 794g Butterball ground turkey 93/7 (1.75 lb)
- 150g red lentils, dry (~¾ cup)
- 185g jasmine rice, dry (~1 cup)
- 400g canned diced tomatoes (with liquid, 1 can)
- 255g canned corn, drained (1 can)
- 150g yellow onion, diced
- 120g capsicum (bell pepper), diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups bone broth
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. Add turkey and break into crumbles. Cook 6–8 min until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Don’t drain.
- Push turkey to the sides. Add onion, capsicum, and garlic to the center. Cook 3–4 min until softened and fragrant.
- Add cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, and cayenne. Stir everything together and cook 1 min until spices are fragrant.
- Add lentils, rice, diced tomatoes, and bone broth. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover tightly.
- Cook covered 20–22 min until rice is cooked through and lentils have dissolved into the dish. Check at 18 min — add a splash of water and re-cover if needed.
- Stir in corn. Remove from heat, cover, and rest 5 min. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
