Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt + pepper
2 cups cooked rice
Directions
Step 1 – Heat Your Base
Warm your rice and keep it covered so it stays soft and ready to go.
(Everything moves faster when your base is already handled.)
Step 2 – Cook the Turkey the Right Way
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high and add the ground turkey. Spread it out slightly and let it cook for a minute before breaking it apart.
(This gives it a chance to develop some color instead of just steaming.)
Step 3 – Break and Build Texture
Break the turkey into chunks and continue cooking, stirring occasionally. Let some pieces stay in contact with the pan long enough to brown slightly.
(Turkey is lean—this is how you keep it from tasting flat.)
Step 4 – Season at the Right Time
Once the turkey is mostly cooked, add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and finish cooking.
(Seasoning too early can get lost—this locks it in.)
Step 5 – Assemble and Keep It Moving
Serve over rice and mix lightly so everything comes together.
(Add hot sauce or something acidic if you want to sharpen it up.)
(This is your lean, fast, no-drama meal that still hits your protein.)
