Cooking Thursday~~Black Beans and Rice with Turkey

We love turkey, beans and rice.  So this was a perfect recipe for us!  I make this today for our lunch.  I followed the recipe a little.  But most of my cooking is using the recipe as a springboard. 

Black Beans and Rice with Ground Turkey

• 1 onion, chopped
• fresh garlic 2 cloves, minced
• 1 pound of ground turkey
• 1 ¹/2 - 2 cups black beans, drained
• 2 (8-oz) cans tomato sauce
•  2 cans of water
• Chili powder to taste (I use 1 Tablespoon)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup of rice

Saute onion until tender in olive oil. Add garlic and ground turkey saute a minute more. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.  Add rice and cook until rice is tender. Good with fresh tortillas on the side.
