Scale
Protein
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
Vegetables & Beans
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained

Instructions
- Cook the turkey: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground turkey and sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over it. Cook the turkey, crumbling it with a spatula, until it is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
- Assemble meal prep bowls: Take four individual microwave-safe meal prep containers with lids. Evenly divide the cooked ground turkey among the four bowls.
- Add remaining ingredients: Distribute the drained black beans, corn, cooked jasmine rice, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly between the four bowls. Allow the turkey to cool slightly before sealing the containers with their lids to avoid condensation.
- Store: Place the sealed meal prep bowls in the refrigerator. They can be stored safely for up to 3 days.
- Reheat and serve: When ready to eat, remove the lids and microwave each bowl in 40-second increments until heated through. Top with fresh green leaf lettuce and your preferred taco toppings such as salsa and light sour cream. Enjoy your nutritious taco salad bowl!
