Instructions

Step 1

Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package and set aside.

While the rice cooks, dice your turkey breast into 1 inch cubes. Add half the olive oil to a large skillet and warm over medium heat. Add the diced turkey breast and saute for 7 to 10 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Add the cajun seasoning and continue to saute until the turkey is well coated. Transfer to a small plate.

Place the skillet back over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the frozen green beans and cover. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender and crisp. Turn off the heat.
