You can make this with ground turkey or keep it vegetarian with Impossible Burger plant based meat. They're both delicious and pack in lots of tasty vegetables.
This recipe is higher in fat. If you're looking for a low-fat meal, you should choose another option.
1. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Then stir in 1 cup rice.
2. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
4. Add the red onion and bell pepper. Saute until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Add halved tomatoes and garlic. Season with a pinch of coarse salt.
6. Cook until tomatoes start to burst, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add either ground turkey or Impossible Burger, crumbling and stirring until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Add another pinch of salt.
8. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the cooked turkey or Impossible Burger.
9. Stir in the olives, oregano and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes until thoroughly heated through.
10. Turn off the heat and stir in the parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
11. Each servings gets 2/3 cup of rice, with about 1 1/4 cups of the skillet fixings. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta over each serving.
12. If you like a little kick, add your favorite hot sauce.
Yield: 4 Servings
You can freeze individual portions for easy re-heating later. Freeze WITHOUT the feta cheese on them. Add that after it's been reheated.
Microwave on high for approximately 4-5 minutes. Keep the container open a little to allow steam to escape.
