Notes
- Ground beef, pork, or chicken can be substituted for ground turkey if desired.
- To make this recipe vegetarian/vegan friendly, simply omit the ground turkey and substitute vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Have some extra veggies in the fridge that you need to use up? Zucchini, carrots, green beans, radishes and even leafy greens like kale, turnip greens, or collard greens can easily be added to this recipe (just wait until right before serving before adding any leafy greens so they have a little texture still).
- Don't have canned corn? Frozen corn can be used instead. Just sub ~1.5 cups of frozen corn instead of the canned.
- If you have a low tolerance for spicy foods use a little less cayenne pepper and chili powder.
