    Tips from Home Chefs

    Southwest-Style Turkey Skillet

    Cook the rice
    1 Cook the rice

    Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    2 Prepare the ingredients & make the creamy guacamole

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Drain and rinse the beans. In a bowl, combine the sour cream and guacamole. Season with salt and pepper.

    Start the skillet
    3 Start the skillet

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef, diced onion, halved tomatoes, and spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Add the tomatillo sauce, drained beans, and spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the turkey is cooked through.

    4 Finish the skillet & serve your dish

    Evenly top the skillet with the cheese. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until melted. Turn off the heat. Let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Serve the finished skillet with the cooked rice. Top with the creamy guacamole and crispy onions. Enjoy!
