This is what I call healthy comfort food! Brown some ground turkey with taco seasoning, add black beans, corn, and your favorite salsa. Let it simmer while you prep your toppings – think shredded lettuce, cheese, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime. Scoop it into tortillas or over rice, and dinner is served!
