Instructions
For the Rice
- Rinse your rice under room temperature water about 2 – 3 times, or until the water runs clear. Drain any excess water.
- Place rinse rice in a medium sized saucepan, then add the 1 ½ cups water. Place over medium to high heat and bring liquid to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to low to bring the liquid to a simmer. Stir the rice, making sure no rice is stuck at the bottom of your pan.
- Once at a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 25 minutes.
- Turn off heat and allow rice to rest for at least 10 minutes, covered.
For the Turkey
- Heat oil in a medium sized frying pan over medium to high heat. Once hot, add the red bell pepper and carrot. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Next, fry the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Then add the ground turkey, breaking it into smaller pieces. Season your turkey with salt and pepper. Cook your turkey until it has become lightly browned and is cooked.
- Mix through the soy sauce, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired. Turn off heat.
- Serve turkey mixture over rice. Garnish with lightly toasted sesame seeds if desired.
