Tex Mex Ground Turkey Rice Casserole Instructions:

1. First thing to do, In a Stovetop Pan with a Lid, add Brown Rice, Water, Chicken Bouillon, Fresh Minced Garlic, Ground Cumin and Chili Powder. Mix all the Ingredients really well. Put the Pan on the Stovetop and bring the Ingredients to a slight Boil, then turn the Stovetop to Low/Medium, Place the Lid on the Pan and Cook for 40 – 50 Minutes.

TIP: If you are using Prepared Chicken Stock, Replace all the Water with it and don’t add Chicken Bouillon. White Rice will not need 5 Cups of Water (check package on how to prepare). 

2. Next, PreHeat Oven at 350 Degrees F. Now in a Oven Safe Pan, add Ground Turkey, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Fresh Minced Garlic, Ground Cumin, Chili Powder, Salt and Black Pepper. Mix up all the Ingredients really well. Bake the Ground Turkey Mixture for 40 Minutes (after 20 Minutes, Mix up Ground Turkey Mixture and then Continue to Bake).

TIP: We Bake our Ground Turkey Mixture in the Oven to make the Meat Chunky, You can also Cook this Mixture up on the Stovetop!

3. While the Ground Turkey Mixture is Baking in the Oven, this is a good time to Roast the Broccoli. On a Baking Sheet, add the Broccoli and Spread them out on the Pan. Bake for 20 Minutes in the Oven with the Ground Turkey Mixture.

4. When all the Ingredients are done, Take them out of the Oven and Off the Stovetop. Let them cool for a Minute.
