Creating Turkey Taco Rice is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Add Garlic and Turkey: Stir in the minced garlic and ground turkey. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
3. Incorporate Rice: Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the turkey and onions.
4. Mix in Liquids and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, corn, and taco seasoning. Stir well, ensuring the rice is evenly coated.
