Turkey Taco Skillet

If you are a fan of Mexican food...this is a very tasty dish that is a must try! Not only is it delicious, but it is healthy. An added bonus...it's a skillet recipe, so you don't have to turn on the oven! Makes for a great weeknight meal!!!! It also made a lot! So we have plenty for dinner tomorrow! Thanks to my friend, Lori, for sending me the recipe! I love when someone shares a new recipe for me to try!!! Thanks Lori!!!!

Ingredients:

· 1 lb ground turkey

· 1 pkg taco seasoning mix

· 2 cups water

· 1 jar (16 oz) thick & chunky salsa

· 1 can Mexican-style corn (I used regular corn)

· 2 cups instant brown rice

· 1 cup shredded Mexican or taco cheese blend

· 2 cups shredded lettuce

· 1 large tomato, chopped

· 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Serve with: baked tortilla chips

Directions:

1. Cook turkey in a large nonstick skillet over high heat, stirring to break up meat, 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in seasoning mix, water, salsa and corn; bring to a boil. Stir in rice. Cover and remove from heat; let stand 12 to 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand 1 to 2 minutes to melt cheese.

2. On plates, top rice mixture with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Serve with tortilla chips.
