Ingredients

1 1/3 c brown rice or 4 cups cooked
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
4 garlic cloves minced
1 red onion medium, chopped
1 large carrots peeled and chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
4 green onions stalks only, chopped

Instructions

The rice has the longest lead time, so you'll want to start this first (you could even do this the day before, or meal prep in advance). Cook rice to package instructions. I got the rice going in the Instant Pot about 15 minutes before we started the veggies and turkey so it had time to cook (brown rice takes longer, even in the Instant Pot). You could also use Instant Rice that you can just microwave when you're ready for it. If you go this route, make sure that you have 4 cups.
Add your sesame and olive oil to a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion, carrot and salt and pepper to taste. Sautee until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir regularly.
At the same time, cook your turkey. Use nonstick cooking spray in a medium pan over medium high heat. Break up the turkey and add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned (there should be no pink), probably 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain off any excess oil. You probably won't have much because of the low fat content of the turkey.
In the pan with the veggies, move the veggies to one side of the pan. Use the remaining space to scramble your egg. Add a few drops of oil or nonstick cooking spray so the egg won't stick. If you use cooking spray, make sure you are NOT SPRAYING OVER AN OPEN FLAME (this is for those of you with a gas stovetop).
Add turkey and rice to the pan with the veggies and egg and mix all ingredients together. While mixing, add your butter and soy sauce. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
