Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 1 1/2 cups per serving

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked quick-cooking brown rice
Cooking spray
1/2 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup water
2 cups small broccoli florets
2 cups diced cooked turkey breast, cooked without salt, skin and all visible fat discarded
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and margarine.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook the bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until they begin to lightly brown on the edges, stirring frequently. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Pour the water into the skillet. Stir in the broccoli. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the broccoli is just tender-crisp, stirring constantly.

    Step 4

    Stir in the bell pepper mixture and turkey. Remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 3 minutes, or until the turkey is heated through.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, in a small microwaveable bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 20 seconds, or until hot.

    Step 6

    Spoon the rice onto plates. Spoon the turkey mixture over the rice. Top with the sauce.
