Back when I was newly married - or maybe just newly engaged - I received a cookbook entitled, "Jane Brody's Good Food Book". Surprisingly, I still find myself making recipes out of it even today! Here's a family favorite: good on the budget, filling and warm, and almost all of the kids will eat it! Enjoy!
Black Beans with Turkey & Rice
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
15 oz. tomato sauce
2 tsp. chili powder
2 Tbls. lemon juice
2 Tbls. soy sauce
2 tsp. mustard (preferably Dijon)
brown rice (cooked)
shredded cheese
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, brown the turkey with the onion. Once cooked, add the green pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes or until peppers are softened slightly.
2. In the meantime, whisk together the tomato sauce and seasonings. Add the sauce, along with the black beans, to the turkey-vegetable mixture. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. (Note: I've also been known to throw it in the crock pot on low at this point. Works great!)
3. Serve over cooked rice, with cheese as a topping (if desired).

Do you double this when you make it, or does it make enough? Sounds yummy...I'll be trying this one!
This makes enough for our family, when stretched with rice, a salad, and usually rolls of some kind. We used to have enough for leftovers, but not anymore!!!! :)
Heather, I made this tonight and everyone loved it. Thank you for sharing! XXOO
