Ingredients

• ⅔ cup uncooked rice (yields about 2 cups cooked)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ pound ground turkey
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1.5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or paste

Directions

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender.

3. Stir in garlic, soy sauce, ginger, chili paste, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Let it cook for another 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld.
4. Spoon the cooked rice into two bowls, then top with the turkey mixture. Add any optional garnishes you like—think sesame seeds, chili oil, or green onions for extra punch.
5. Pro tip: Amp it up by adding a fried egg on top or some sautéed veggies for a more filling meal. Serve hot and dig in!
