Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • ⅔ cup uncooked brown rice

  • 8 ounces ground turkey

  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon dried celery flakes

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; stir in brown rice. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice tender and liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Set aside.
