TURKEY TACO SKILLET

I found this recipe in Woman's Day magazine. My future hubby and I really liked this dish. When I made this I used instant white rice. We decided to leave off the tomatoes and not serve this with the tortilla chips, but I think I'll use crushed tortilla chips next time. I did also add kidney beans to this before cooling. I did also find myself the water did not completely absorb but it really wasn't that big of a deal once mixed in.
