How to make it
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wide saucepan over medium heat, then add the diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for a further minute until fragrant, taking care not to let it brown and turn bitter.
- Add the ground turkey breast and break it up with a wooden spoon, cooking for 7 to 9 minutes until no pink remains and it reaches an internal temperature of 74 C (165 F).
- Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, stirring so the spices coat the meat and toast briefly in the pan.
- Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with green chiles along with their juice and the teriyaki sauce, then simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavours.
- Fold the cooked brown rice through the turkey mixture and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until everything is hot throughout.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander or sliced spring onion if desired.
