Turkey taco skillet is a 21 Day Fix weeknight dinner, prepped and on the table in less than 20 minutes!
Confession #21- This quick turkey taco skillet isn’t what I planned to make for dinner. But my morning got away from me and my crock pot meal, well, never made it into the crock pot.
That’s why everyone needs quick meals like this in their arsenal. I wouldn’t even call it a recipe. I just threw a bunch of pantry ingredients together with some ground turkey.
And done.
My one year old couldn’t get enough…he’s so easy to please!
Here’s the turkey taco skillet recipe. Enjoy!

Turkey taco skillet is a 21 Day Fix weeknight dinner, prepped and on the table in less than 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 14 oz canned petite diced tomatoes, with jalapenos

- Add ground turkey. Cook through.
- Add a can of petite diced tomatoes with spicy jalapeños, as well as the beans and corn.

- Divide into 4 equal servings and eat alone, over rice, with cheese, avocado…whatever your little heart desires.

I tired this tonight…with a few modifications! Thanks for the idea. This will be awesome leftover too!
Veronica says
If you don’t mind me asking how big was your serving?
1 container or two? and which 1?
Nancylynn says
About 1 1/2 cups! See recipe for container count 🙂
Kate says
Is the 1/2 blue from the added toppings or from one of the ingredients? I can’t figure out where the 1/2 blue cones in! This recipe is delish by the way! I can’t get enough!! Thanks!
Nancylynn says
Glad you like it! Yes – it is confusing…the 1/2 BLUE was from my toppings. I just changed it to make that more clear! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙂
Denise says
On step 2 and 4 when you say measure using your containers…. what exactly are we measuring? Are we measuring how many containers are in the lb of turkey and how many in the can of beans and corn? I’m sure I’m just missing something. Can’t wait to try this!
Nancylynn says
Thank you for your comment – this recipe really needed updating (it was one of my first ever)! Hope the revised directions make more sense to you!!
BRooke says
what is the serving size for this recipe so i can count my containers
Nancylynn says
It’s 1/4 of the pan!
BRooke says
is that a measurement of a 1 cup serving
Rebecca says
So I was all ready to make this, but realized I don’t have black beans! I have kidney beans, think that would be ok still? I’ve made this before and lovesd it, but never with kidney beans.

Of course!!
