Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Rice by cooking 2 cups of rice according to package instructions. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil or butter.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium finely chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until soft.
- Add 2-3 minced garlic cloves and stir for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of ground turkey, season with salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the mixture light.

- Garnish with crumbled feta cheese, parsley or cilantro, and optionally drizzle with lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt or tzatziki.
