Ingredients
Directions
- Steam the broccoli until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- In a pan over medium heat with non-stick spray, sauté the onion until softened.
- Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the instant rice plus an equal amount of water, black beans, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cover and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the rice is tender. If there’s extra liquid, remove the lid and let it cook off.
- Top the broccoli with cheddar cheese and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, until melted.
- Serve the cheesy broccoli alongside the dirty rice mixture or combine in a bowl and enjoy.
Notes
- Add garlic or smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.
- Swap ground turkey for ground beef or plant-based crumbles if preferred.
- Use frozen broccoli to save time just steam according to package directions.
- A dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes adds a nice kick.
- Great for meal prep just store components separately and reheat when ready.
