... topped with cheese, salsa & sour cream ... and a side of tortilla chips!
Some of the kids really like it and others just tolerate it. Since Amber does not like anything spicy, I toned down the spice compared to the way I've made it in the past. So, how much spice you like it completely up to you.
Oh, by the way, this also works in a crock pot, after you cook the rice & meat.
Begin by cooking the rice per package instructions. I usually put on the water to boil and then begin working on the rest. Brown & crush up the turkey meat. Drain & rinse. Return to pan and add salt/pepper to taste. In a large stock pot (or use crock pot if going to let it simmer all day) combine all cans (DO NOT DRAIN) of tomatoes, beans, veggies, and seasonings. Stir and simmer on low, covered. Add cooked meat. When rice is cooked, add to the stew. If it's too thick, add 1/2 to 1 can of water (I always add 1 can of water). Simmer on low-medium, covered until slightly boiling. Stir frequently to prevent burning/sticking, or use crock pot.
Serve in bowls and top with your choice of condiments: shredded Mexican blend cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. and a side of tortilla chips for dipping!
ENJOY!!!

Spanish-style Turkey & Black Bean Stew
