Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups rice (use a rice cooker, for heaven's sake)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin

Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water. Add the rice to the rice cooker with the appropriate amount of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Throw in the ground turkey. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it’s no longer pink. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Once the turkey is cooked, add the peas and canned tomatoes (with juice) to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. Serve the turkey and pea mixture over the rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
