Ingredients

  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice (dry)
  • 750 grams Turkey Breast
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tbsps Cajun Spice
  • 8 cups Frozen Green Beans (thawed)

Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 4

Divide rice, turkey and green beans between bowls. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Enjoy!
