1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 C. uncooked long grain rice
1 Tbsp. pressed or finely minced garlic
14.5 oz. can beef broth
15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 lb. uncooked ground turkey
1 C. frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1/2 C. bottled picante sauce
1/2 C. crushed tortilla or corn chips
2 tsp. taco seasoning
shredded cheese, chopped tomato, cilantro, sliced jalapeno, and/or lime wedges, if desired
In a saucepan, cook onion in hot oil over medium heat 5 min. or until tender. Stir in rice and garlic. Cook and stir 5 min., until rice is browned. Add broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered 10-15 min. or until rice is tender. Stir in beans; cool slightly, about 20 min.
Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine turkey, corn, picante, chips, and seasoning. Stir in rice mixture. In prepared pan, lightly form turkey mixture into a 10" X 5" loaf. Bake 1 hr. 15 min.- 1 hr. 30 min., until an instant read thermometer inserted in center reads 165 degrees. Let stand 10min. Sprinkle with garnish and serve with lime, if desired.
I always reserve the right to use ground beef instead of the turkey. If you like a little more spice, you can mince some jalapenos or add a little red pepper to the mix.
