Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop cilantro.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add turkey*, garlic, and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in salsa, beans and their liquid, half the cilantro, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and chili has thickened slightly, 5-7 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • Divide chili verde and rice between bowls in separate sections. Dollop with sour cream and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve.
Ground Turkey is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Almost no prep, easy and fast to prepare, and easily split among 5 people with some chili leftover. There either was too much chili or too little rice since the proportions seemed off. But it was a great family- and kid-friendly meal. Only disappointment was the lack of spice despite the title. Definitely could've used more heat.
Lately the rice always comes out wrong, despite my following the directions, when it never used to. It's usually still a little crunchy in the middle. Maybe y'all switched out the type of rice without adjusting the recipes or something but it's frustrating. The actual chili was fine, nothing special but not bad
I've had this one before but super tasty and simple. Nice for a chilly night. I could see using the chili to fill a burrito as well.
Loved the taste and it was a bit different than our normal meal. I don't like spice, and it was not very spicy.
This was very good, but I added some hot sauce to mine. I also used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
It needed a little more spice. When I reheated the leftovers I added some chili powder and it was perfect!
Tasty and so simple that it didn't make it into the fridge when I unpacked my box. I wouldn't mind seeing it with ground pork but, the ground turkey was good.
Cilantro way passed its prime. Large portions. Bit high in calories. Tasty
It was a mild spice meal -- we added sriracha to kick it up!
This was FANTASTIC! One of the top recipes we've tried.
