Ground Turkey Taco Bowl

This is a go-to meal that can be prepped in bulk - OR individual meal prep containers. What I love about this is…it “keeps” really well as a fully prepped meal, and is easy to reheat & add a couple toppings. It is ALSO very easy to customize based on your specific macro goals. This taco bowl is made with ground turkey - but you can swap it out for shredded chicken, ground chicken, ground beef, steak tips, etc. You can add roasted veggies, no rice, etc…based on what YOUR goals are - and it will ALWAYS taste great. Here is the super basic recipe break down below…and we are using the term “recipe” VERY loosely. You will come to see that a LOT Of my meal prep is using things that are microwaveable or instant to make life & meal prep faster & easier. We are all about simplifying here!

Recipe:

• 3lbs Jenny-0 93/7 Lean Ground Turkey

• 2 15oz cans black beans (drained & rinsed)

• 1 bag Birds Eye Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn (I got the family size bag)

• 2 bags Ben’s Original Ready Rice (I used Jasmine, because it’s what I had on hand lol)

Taco Seasoning Recipe:

(you can obviously buy this as well, but this is my favorite easy recipe with things you probably have on hand!)

• 2 tablespoon chili powder

• 3 teaspoons ground cumin

• 2 teaspoon sea salt

• 2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon ground paprika

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions:

• Cook ground turkey in pan.

• While it is cooking, this is where we pop the corn & rice in the microwave and rinse the beans.

• When the meat it cooked, drain the fat from the pan, add in 1/4c water and taco seasoning (I add all that seasoning for the 3lb container. Stir until well mixed, and let simmer until water has been absorbed.

• Portion out into Tupperware -I used the following portions per container:

  • 6oz ground turkey

  • 45g sweet corn

  • 55g black beans

  • 62g basmati rice

    *this made 5 servings with some leftover of everything to use as needed throughout the week in other meals.
    

• The macros for this meal is:

  • PROTEIN: 50g

  • CARBOHYDRATES: 64g.

  • FAT: 15g

    • again - you would adjust portions/ingredients based on your own needs.

  • CALORIES: 585

  • FIBER: 9g

When it’s time to eat…I will add on some sour cream & fresh tomatoes or salsa once the meal has been reheated (macros for toppings are not included above)
