For Ground Turkey (as rice boils/simmers, cook the ground turkey):- In a large, heavy pan, add olive oil and heat on medium high heat until shimmery.
- Add ground turkey and break apart with a spatula as turkey browns.
- Add in onion, pepper, and garlic and brown with turkey, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
- In a small bowl, add sauce ingredients and stir.
- Add sauce to pan and toss turkey and vegetables.
- Turn heat to low and wait for rice to finish.
- When rice is done, fluff and scoop into bowls. Top with ground turkey in sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
