Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes, Rotel, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in the frozen corn and cook for another 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Serve hot, with your favorite toppings.

Notes
