Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 1/4 cup long-grain white rice; 1/2 cup water; 6 oz 99% lean ground turkey; 1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced; 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp avocado oil; 3/4 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce; 1 tsp rice vinegar; 1 tbsp water

Prep 10 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and onion. Season with half the remaining salt and the black pepper. Cook, breaking the turkey into small pieces with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Done when meat is no longer pink, 165°F.
Add the sliced green peppers and garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender-crisp, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and the remaining water. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Cook until the liquid has slightly reduced and coated the turkey, about 1 minute. Season with the remaining salt if needed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a plate. Top with the turkey and green pepper mixture.
