Carrot, Tomato, and Spinach Quinoa Pilaf with Ground Turkey

"I took some leftover quinoa pilaf and added black beans and ground turkey. It made an excellent one-dish meal that hits the table in a hurry. I found it was a good way to use up the leftovers from another dinner. We have the pilaf as a side dish for the two of us, and it is always too much. Adding ground turkey and black beans makes another unique meal that is quick to prepare. Enjoy!"

Ingredients :

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons chicken-flavored vegetable bouillon
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground thyme
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey, or more to taste (optional)
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions :

Prep : 20M	Cook : 5M	Ready in : 1H

• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion in hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir quinoa with the onion, and cook, stirring constantly, until the quinoa is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Pour water into the saucepan; add bouillon granules, black pepper, and thyme. Bring the liquid to a boil, place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until the quinoa softens, about 5 minutes.
• Stir carrot into the quinoa mixture, replace cover, and continue to cook at a simmer until water is completely absorbed, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Stir tomato and baby spinach into the quinoa mixture until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir black beans with the turkey; cook and stir until the beans are hot, 2 to 3 minutes; add the quinoa mixture, stir, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more.

Notes :

• I add about 2 ounces water when using leftover pilaf and mixing with the turkey and beans; it turns out perfect!
• Reynolds® Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
