Method

  1. Rinse the rice, cover with 150 ml water, add 1 g salt, and cook for 15–18 minutes until tender.

  2. Heat the oil and cook the ground1 turkey for 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps with a spatula.

  3. Add the paprika, cumin, tomato4 paste, 40 ml water, 1 g salt, and pepper. Simmer for 6–7 minutes until the sauce is thick and the turkey is cooked through.

  4. Warm the corn for 2 minutes, dice the tomato4, tear the lettuce, and grate the cheddar6.

  5. Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base, then add the turkey, corn, tomato4, and lettuce in sections.

  6. Add the sour7 cream, sprinkle with cheddar6, and drizzle with lime8 juice.

Tips

Why it works
Simmer the turkey with tomato paste and water so the sauce doesn't burn or dry out. If you add a lot of liquid at once, the sauce gets diluted and loses richness.
Substitutions
Replace the canned corn with boiled corn kernels (60 g) or frozen kernels (60 g). Instead of cheddar, use grated Parmesan (25 g) for a sharper taste.
Common mistakes
If the turkey is dry, the mince was undercooked or simmered too long with the lid off. Check with a fork: the meat should separate easily.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes under a lid, adding 1 tablespoon of water. Don't freeze, as the sour cream and lettuce will turn mushy.
Serve with
Serve with corn chips or toast for a crunchy texture. Good for a family dinner when you need something quick and filling.
