Cook 1 package of lean ground turkey with taco seasoning in a skillet.

Prepare 4 bento boxes for meal prep.

Cook Uncle Ben's whole-grain Sanofi medley in the microwave for 90 seconds.

Divide the cooked grain into the 4 containers, about half a cup per container.

Add salad to each bowl, about half a cup to a cup, depending on preference.

Once the ground turkey is cooked, divide it into fourths and add to each bowl.

Add about 1/4 can of low-sodium canned corn to each bowl.

Add about 3 tablespoons of favorite salsa to each bowl.

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese onto each bowl.

Top each bowl with Taco Bell mild sauce before eating.

Seal the containers and stack them for storage in the fridge.
