It layers seasoned turkey, black beans, corn, and salsa over fluffy brown rice for a filling bowl that scales easily for the whole family. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want something warm, satisfying, and hands-off.
About 45 minutes start to finish, with most of that time being hands-off while the brown rice cooks.

Meal prep & storage
This bowl is a natural for batching. Store the turkey mixture and rice together or separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze portions for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water for 2-3 minutes, or warm gently in a skillet until heated through.
Swaps
Ground chicken, lean ground beef, or crumbled tempeh all work in place of the turkey without changing the vibe. Swap brown rice for quinoa, farro, or cauliflower rice depending on what you have on hand. Pinto beans stand in nicely for black beans, and a smoky chipotle salsa is a great alternative if you want to shift the flavor.
