Spanish Rice

My mom made this dish growing up and I always loved it, especially when it was served with cheesy green beans on the side! It is tough to find cans of Spanish rice these days, so when you do, stock up! This extra healthy version fills you up with plenty of veggies and lean ground turkey. My fiancĂ© enjoyed his topped with lots of hot sauce! 

Ingredients
1 can of Spanish rice (I found it in the international aisle at Hillers)
1 green pepper
1 white onion
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 T vegetable oil
Hot sauce (optional)

Directions
1. Slice the green pepper and onion.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced pepper and onion and cook until the onions are soft.
3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and brown.
4. Open the can of Spanish rice and mix into the skillet. Stir occasionally until the rice is warm. Serve warm.
