About this recipe
Rice with turkey and vegetables is a quick skillet dinner built on a simple combination of rice, poultry, carrot, and bell pepper. The turkey keeps the dish light yet filling, the carrot adds gentle sweetness, and the bell pepper brings color and a fresh note. Cook the rice ahead of time and let it rest for a few minutes so it does not stick together when mixed with the other ingredients. Sauté the vegetables briefly, just until slightly softened, so they do not lose all their texture. Serve right after combining the ingredients, while the rice is warm and the turkey is juicy.
Ingredients
Servings: 2
120 g rice
250 g turkey breast
1 carrot
1/2 bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Steps
Cook the rice until fluffy and let it rest, covered, before mixing it with the turkey and vegetables.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Season the turkey with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, then sauté for 5–7 minutes, until lightly browned.
Add the carrot and bell pepper, then sauté for another 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the rice to the skillet and mix it with the turkey, carrot, and bell pepper, just until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately, while the turkey is still juicy and the carrot and bell pepper remain slightly firm after the brief sautéing.
