Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Stir together broth concentrate, wild rice medley, 1 cup water and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 18-20 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.While the pan heats, pat corn dry with paper towels. When hot, add corn to the dry pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown in spots, 4-5 min.Transfer corn to a plate.

Add Tex-Mex paste and Southwest Spice Blend to the pan with turkey and veggies. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.Add 1/2 cup water (2/3 cup for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
