Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook 2 cups of rice or quinoa according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes). Fluff and set aside.
  2. While grains cook, dice bell peppers, chop mushrooms, finely chop onion, mince garlic, and roughly chop spinach or kale.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken or turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and slightly golden.
  4. Add chopped onion and garlic to skillet; sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add bell peppers and mushrooms; cook for 4-5 minutes until veggies soften but retain some crunch.
  6. Sprinkle in ground cumin, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper; stir to coat evenly.
  7. Add cooked rice or quinoa and chopped greens to skillet. Pour in soy sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until greens wilt and flavors meld.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
  9. Top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

Toast spices in hot oil before adding veggies for deeper flavor. Add a splash of water or extra soy sauce if mixture feels dry. Avoid overcrowding the pan to brown ingredients properly. Add greens last to keep them fresh and vibrant.
