High Protein One Pan Ground Turkey Taco Skillet

High Protein One Pan Ground Turkey Taco Skillet


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Diet: Gluten-Free, High-Protein

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook and stir, breaking the meat into small crumbles, until it is browned and fully cooked.
  3. Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the pan. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, salsa, taco seasoning, and water or beef broth.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend and the liquid to thicken.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
