The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 8
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a measuring jug & a sieve

Get roasting

  • Thinly slice the peppers. Finely dice 1 onion, then cut the remaining into 1cm wedges. Drain the sweetcorn
  • Add the pepper and onion wedges to one side of the baking tray and toss with half the Mexican spice, 1/2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the corn to the other side of the tray, toss with 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper
  • Roast for 18-20 mins, until the veg is soft and the corn is charred

Fry the turkey & cook the quinoa

  • Meanwhile, roughly dice the tomatoes. Roughly chop the coriander. Dice the avocado into 1cm chunks. Finely chop or crush the garlic
  • To the medium bowl, add the avocado, diced onion, coriander, half the tomatoes and the juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well
  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to pan

Finish the prep

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 13 mins. Season with salt and pepper
  • Stir the garlic, tomato puree, remaining tomatoes and remaining Mexican spice into the turkey pan. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the turkey is cooked through
  • Stir in the tamari and 200ml water. Simmer for 3-4 mins, until thickened. Season to taste

Build the flavour

  • Check your turkey pieces are cooked through; the meat should be white with the juices running clear
  • When ready, stir the corn into the cooked quinoa and share between bowls
  • Serve the turkey, roasted veg and avocado salsa in sections alongside. Serve with the remaining lime wedges
