Easy healthy toddler lunch. Brown rice, black beans, and ground turkey! You can make a good amount and dish it out. It keeps for 4 days in the fridge

I make this for my kids, they love it, especially my 19 month old.

Reminds me of picadillo. We add cooked tomatoes, green peppers, unions, and olives.

You learn something new every day

According to that chart he's within the right limits. He eats about 1/4 or less of a cup (cooked) so 1/8 uncooked. But he doesn't eat it daily

It looks delicious but would be healthier to substitute the brown rice, due to the age of the child and potential inorganic arsenic content. The table in the below link gives alternatives as well as recommended amounts for children.

I season the turkey with a little pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder

Ahhh, ok.

I'll have to pick some up my next grocery trip and give it a try. I LOVE rice and eat it like 4 times a week. ? I don't give it to my son that often though. But atleast i won't feel so bad about eating it if I switch over to brown rice.

White rice is a simple carb so it's not as good for you as brown rice which is a complex carb

I can never go wrong with rice and beans for lunch.

My son absolutely loves it!

We eat white rice, I'm trying to be more healthy. And I've been trading stuff out since having my son. Is white rice unhealthy? What makes brown rice better for you?

My toddler will refuse to eat that, he's extremely picky. Good idea for mom though.

Oh very nice. I'm sure you could use any meat and even tofu if you're trying to limit how much meat your child eats. Thanks for the great suggestion. I'd probably eat this too lol
