• 1 red pepper, finely chopped
• 1 green pepper, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped
• 1 cup (240ml) of crushed tomatoes (or use passata)
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 cup/ (240ml) of chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (3 syns) or use sweetener to make syn free

Instructions

1. Add the rice to a saucepan, add 2 cups/480ml of water, season with salt and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until liquid is almost absorbed, turn off heat, add lid and set aside (steam trapped under lid will cook the rice perfectly).
2. Add the ground turkey, onion, crushed garlic, peppers to a deep frying pan over a medium high heat and cook until browned.
3. Add the jalapeno, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, brown sugar and all the spices and mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add in black beans and sweetcorn and simmer covered for 20mins. (Check half way through, just to ensure sauce is not reducing too fast, just add a little more stock if needed)
4. Remove lid, then stir in cooked rice, till all combined.
5. Season as need with salt and black pepper.
6. Sprinkle with some fresh chopped spring onions
7. Spoon into bowls and add your choice of toppings.
