Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of garlic butter. Add 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
  2. Once your aromatics are ready, add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, cooking for 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey is browned and no longer pink.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of garlic butter and an additional minced garlic clove. Heat gently over low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the butter is melted and aromatic.
  4. Prepare 1 cup of brown rice according to package instructions, typically about 20 minutes. Rinse the rice under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a pot, bringing it to a boil.
  5. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil for steaming. Add fresh green beans or spinach and steam for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
  6. To assemble, start with a scoop of cooked brown rice in each bowl. Top with the cooked turkey mixture, steamed veggies, and drizzle with garlic butter. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
