Creating Ground Turkey with Garlic Butter Rice is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to prepare this delicious dish:
1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.
2. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
3. Cook the Turkey: While the rice cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and onion powder. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
5. Season: Season the turkey with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and mix well.
7. Serve: Plate the garlic butter rice and top it with the cooked ground turkey. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
