The Recipe:

Steamed Turkey Kiwi Rice

Ingredients:

• 1 turkey breast
• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 kiwis, sliced
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Season turkey breast with salt and pepper.
2. Steam turkey until fully cooked.
3. Prepare cauliflower rice and season with salt and pepper.
4. Steam spinach until wilted.
5. Slice kiwis.
6. Assemble bowl with cauliflower rice, topped with sliced turkey, spinach, and kiwi.
7. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Detailed Preparation:

1. Start by seasoning the turkey breast with salt and pepper. For best results, use a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest before slicing.
2. Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Sauté in a pan with a bit of olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Steam fresh spinach for 3-5 minutes until wilted but still bright green.
4. Layer the cauliflower rice at the bottom of your bowl. Arrange sliced turkey, steamed spinach, and fresh kiwi slices on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added crunch and nutty flavor.

Variations:

• Swap turkey for chicken or tofu for different protein options.
• Try pineapple or mango instead of kiwi for a different fruity twist.
• Use quinoa or brown rice instead of cauliflower rice for added whole grains.

Tips:

• Don’t overcook the turkey to keep it moist.
• Steam vegetables just until tender-crisp to retain nutrients and texture.
• Prepare components in advance for quick assembly.
• Use pre-riced cauliflower from the grocery store.
• Cook extra turkey to use in meals throughout the week.
• Prep vegetables and fruit in advance during less busy times.
