All the flavour of your favourite takeout in a dinner that's actually good for you, this Ground Turkey Fried Rice is about to go on repeat. It's loaded with veggies, packed with protein and comes together in one pan, with fluffy jasmine rice, lean ground turkey and a savoury tamari, hoisin and sesame sauce.
To cook the rice, add the rice to a pan and top with water. Use your hands to swish the rice around to wash. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and return to the pan. Repeat this process another 2 times. Return the rice to the pan for a final time and top with 2 ¼ cups water. Place onto the stove and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and place the lid on. Continue to summer until most of the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and leave the lid on so the rice can continue to steam while you cook the pork and vegetables.
Bring a large frying pan or wok to a medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the ground turkey to the pan and use a metal spatula to break up. Once mince is browned, add 1 tablespoon tamari and 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce and stir through.
To the pan add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the green onions, diced carrot, peas and broccoli and fry until just tender.
Add the jasmine rice to the pan as well as the remaining tamari, hoisin sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil. Stir through and fry until the rice is heated through.
Push the fried rice to one side of the pan and add the whisked eggs. When the bottom of the egg starts to set, use the spatula to flip over and cook until the egg is cooked through. Break up the egg and stir through the fried rice. Turn off the heat.
Divide fried rice between bowls and serve topped with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge.
