Here is one of my favorite recipes! I make this every week and keep it in the refrigerator to add to lettuce wraps, in taco shells, in pita bread, put on pizza, or stuff bell peppers. It's great for lunches and to put in air tight containers to enjoy with baked tortilla chips for lunch on the go. I love topping it with hot sauce, low sodium soy sauce or amino soy sauce. You can use as much or as little of the ground turkey, brown rice, black beans or corn as you like. You don't need to measure. I like extra turkey and veggies in ours...
