  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 small butternut squash
  • 2/3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/3 pound turkey cutlets, cut into 1/2-by-2-inch strips
  • 1 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

  4. Stir in broth, squash, thyme and cumin; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
