Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

·         1 red pepper and 1 yellow pepper, diced

·         1 lb ground turkey or chicken

·         2 cups leftover rice (or substitute freshly cooked)

·         1 cup frozen or canned corn

·         1 cup New Canaan Farms Fire Roasted Cantina Salsa

Serve With: Steamed vegetables or a green salad

Directions

1.    Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and ground turkey (or chicken), breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.

2.    Stir in the rice, corn, and salsa.

3.    Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through and the mixture is hot. Add a splash of water if it looks too dry.

4.    Serve warm with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.

Other Variations to try: Use Demon Salsa for a fiery kick. Try Black Bean & Corn Salsa for a heartier, ingredient-rich version.
