THE METHOD
1
Cook the rice according to package directions and set aside.
2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook 4 minutes until softened.
3
Add the ground turkey and cook 7–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.
4
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika and stir for 30 seconds.
5
Add the black beans and corn with 3 tbsp water. Simmer 5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Divide the rice among four bowls and spoon the turkey mixture over top.
7
Scatter the green onions over each bowl and serve.
When the math doesn't work
Ground turkey is the main cost. Medium ground beef is a similar price if turkey is not on sale.
- The beans and corn stretch a single small package of turkey across four full bowls.
- Top with hot sauce, salsa, or a squeeze of lime — all cheap ways to finish it.
