Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked (7 oz / 200 g) rice
  • 11 oz (320 g) ground turkey
  • 4 oz (120 g), about 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 4 oz (120 g), about 1 large carrot
  • 4 oz (120 g), about 3/4 cup peas
  • 3 oz (80 g), about 1/2 medium onion
  • 2.5 tbsp (40 ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic

How to make it, step by step

  1. Cook the rice in plenty of salted water according to the package, drain well and set aside (better if it is from the day before or a bit cold, it will stir-fry better).
  2. Dice the onion, red bell pepper and carrot small and mince the garlic very fine. Heat the olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  3. Add the ground turkey and brown, stirring and breaking it up, for 5-6 minutes until it is no longer pink; remove and set aside.
  4. In the same wok, stir-fry the onion, bell pepper, carrot and peas for 5 minutes over high heat, keeping them crisp-tender.
  5. Return the turkey, add the cooked rice and splash in the soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, stirring so it combines, and serve hot.
