2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 cup fresh pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped red onion

Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)


Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.

Swap rice with quinoa, cauliflower rice, or chopped cabbage for different textures.

Spice it up with hot sauce or diced jalapeños if you love heat.
