Taco Turkey over Spanish Rice

Hola Bloggers!  It's been a few days since I posted last.  I have indeed been cooking yummy, healthy food but I keep forgetting to take pictures and I don't wanna post yummy recipes if you can't see what it looked like!  So, today marks only 1 more week of my Advocare 24 day challenge!  Can't believe how fast it's gone by.  But the recipe I made tonight was mostly from the Advocare cookbook; it was their recipe for Frijoles Cubanos... and I just tweaked it a little bit to fit what I already had in my kitchen.


Taco Turkey over Spanish Rice
Advocare 24 Day Challenge Friendly (Cleanse or Recovery Stage)

Start rice first (as brown rice takes a while)
2 cups brown rice
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup salsa
1 1/2 tsp. Cumin
Place all ingredients in rice cooker and push start!  Or place ingredients in a non stick pot, cover and cook.
Now for the turkey!
1 package 99% fat free ground turkey
1 Onion, diced
2-3 Tbs.  Low Sodium Taco Seasoning (Recipe on blog)
2 cans Low sodium Black Beans, drained
1 (14.5oz) can low sodium tomato sauce (I used diced tomatoes and just emulsified them for a few seconds)
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar

Brown meat and onion in a large pot, I sprayed first with No calorie/No fat cooking spray.  Once meat is just about white through, add seasoning.  Once meat is done cooking add black beans, tomato sauce and red wine vinegar.  Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes or until rice is done.
Serve over the rice.
If you are in recovery stage I would recommend just the slightest bit of low-fat cheese... but honestly it doesn't really need it.  My parents also put cilantro, sour cream and cheese on theirs so it is another great, versatile meal.
