  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup spinach or kale chopped
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brown Rice

  • Rinse brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch before cooking.

Cook the Turkey

  • Add ground turkey to a large pot. Cook fully until no pink remains.

Drain Excess Fat

Add Vegetables

Simmer Until Soft

Add Olive Oil

Cool Before Serving

Notes

  • Use lean turkey to reduce fat content.

  • Chop vegetables into small, easy-to-eat pieces.
