Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- ¼ tsp salt
- black pepper, to taste
- ½ white onion, diced small
- 1 ½ cups frozen carrots, peas, and corn
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame

- 3 cups cooked and cooled rice, I like short-grain
- 2-3 Tbsp soy sauce, I used low sodium, use more to taste
- 2 tsp sesame oil

Equipment
Instructions
- Coat your pan with cooking spray and heat to medium.
- Add eggs and scramble with a spatula. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add lean ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Cook and crumble until minimal pink remains.
- Add onion and stir. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
- Stir in frozen vegetables and edamame. Cook uncovered for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are defrosted and softened. Leave for an extra 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess liquid in the pan if needed.
- Add garlic and stir. Cook until just fragrant, about 1-minute.
- Stir in rice, soy sauce, and cooked eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes, untouched, then stir again. Repeat until rice is slightly toasty and soy sauce is equally distributed. You may get a bit of sticking to the bottom of the pan and that's okay (it adds texture).
- Turn off the heat, and stir in sesame oil. Taste, and add more soy sauce as desired. Serve with thinly sliced green onion and additional toppings as desired. Enjoy!
