Directions

  1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, onion and green pepper; cook until no longer pink and vegetables are tender, breaking into crumbles. Add all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
