Meals for the Mind

Ingredients: 

• 8 oz ground turkey, 93% lean 
• 1 cup cooked and chilled jasmine rice 
• 1 tablespoon oil 
• 1 egg 
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce 
• ⅛ cup celery, diced 
• ⅛ cup carrot, peeled and diced  
• ¼ of an onion, diced 
• ⅓ cup spinach, chopped 
• ½ tablespoon chili oil (optional) 

Instructions: 

1. Cook the rice according to the package a day before and let chill (cold rice works best because it won’t become mushy).
2. Dice the celery, carrot, onion into small cubes, and chop the spinach, and set aside. 
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-12 minutes or until slightly golden, breaking it apart with a spatula when necessary. 
4. After cooking the turkey, add the vegetables, rice, and soy sauce into the skillet on high heat, breaking up any clumps and stirring together. Cook for 6-8 minutes. 
5. Place a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add the oil and heat up for 2 minutes. Gently crack the egg over the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping mid-way. 
6. On a serving plate, add the fried egg over the fried rice and top with chili oil.
