I like using boxed rice and pasta mixes to jump-start quick meals. This colorful dish is simple to cook on the stovetop using fried rice mix, tender turkey and convenient frozen vegetables. —Betty Kleberger, Florissant, Missouri

Ingredients

• 1 pound turkey breast tenderloins, cut into 1/4-inch strips
• 1 package (6.2 ounces) fried rice mix
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cups water
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
• 1 cup frozen broccoli cuts, thawed
• 2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper, optional

Directions

1. In a skillet coated with cooking spray, cook turkey over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove turkey and keep warm.
2. Set aside seasoning packet from rice. In the same skillet, saute rice in butter until lightly browned. Stir in the water, cayenne and contents of seasoning packet.
3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the corn, broccoli, red pepper if desired and turkey. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until the rice and vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes.
