instructions
    1

    Start by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions, which usually takes about 25-30 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Add 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

    4

    Next, add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    5

    Cut the 1 pound of turkey breast into small pieces, season with 1 teaspoon of cumin, salt, and pepper to taste, and add to the skillet. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the turkey is thoroughly cooked.

    6

    Once the turkey is cooked, add 1 can of black beans (drained) and 1 cup of corn to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.

    7

    Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and serve it in bowls topped with the turkey and black bean mixture.

    8

    Garnish with fresh cilantro, and add additional salt or pepper as needed.
