Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey1 cup chopped onion (about 1/2 large onion)1 cup chopped green pepper (about 1/2-3/4 large green pepper)1 14-oz. can diced tomatoes1/2 cup uncooked brown rice1 cup water6 oz reduced-fat shredded cheese (I used a reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend)1 tsp salt1/2 tsp black pepper1 tsp mild chili powder1/2 tsp ground cumin
Note: this recipe is identical to my "Mom's western hash" recipe, but with reduced-fat cheese, and ground turkey substituted for lean ground beef.
Brown ground turkey in a large skillet. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. Add diced onion and green pepper and saute until onion is translucent. Add canned tomatoes (including liquid), rice, and water. Stir to combine; cover and cook on medium-low heat until liquid is nearly gone, about 40 minutes (no need to stir during cooking). Cover the surface with cheddar cheese. Cover and cook for about 5 more minutes, until liquid is gone and cheese has melted.
Makes 6 servings.
NOTE: Cooking time is considerably shorter if you use white rice.
(This was a childhood staple, and my mom used ground beef and slices of Velveeta on top. These days that's just too fatty for me, but this version has the same flavor and is much healthier.)
