1 1/2 c. water
Dab of butter
1/2 c. white rice, uncooked
1 carrot, peeled & finely chopped or grated
1 to 2 oz. ground turkey meat

Cook in microwave.

1. Heat water and butter at 100 percent for 2 minutes in a 4-cup bowl.

2. Add rice and carrots to hot water. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent for 3 minutes. Stir and let rest 10 minutes, covered.

3. Stir and cook, uncovered, 3 minutes more at 100 percent. (Rice should be almost tender. If it looks dry, add a tablespoon of water.)

4. Add ground turkey and distribute evenly throughout rice. Cover and cook at 100 percent for 2 minutes more. Let rest, covered, 5 minutes, until cool enough to eat and to allow for complete cooking of rice.

VARIATIONS: Add peas or chopped green beans, fresh or frozen, at the same time turkey is added. Allow an additional 1 to 2 minutes resting time to cook vegetables before serving.
