Turkey Fiesta

This recipe was given to me by my sister-n-law. A great way to use left over turkey after thanksgiving or Christmas. This recipe can also be made with ground beef , pork or turkey throughout the year.

Fiesta Turkey for Boomers

1 tablespoon olive
½ cup diced onion
2 ½ cups cooked turkey, chopped (or 1 pound lean ground turkey, raw∗)
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 cup frozen sweet corn kernels
1 cup mild picante sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and cook onion until soft (about 10 minutes.) Add turkey, rice, beans, tomatoes, corn, picante sauce and chili powder. Stir to mix well. Heat thoroughly. Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Serve hot.

∗If using raw ground turkey, cook with the onion until browned. Drain excess fat while keeping in the skillet.
