Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.

- Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Use quinoa instead of brown rice for added protein and texture.
- Adjust toppings based on preference — add avocado or hummus for extra flavor.
- Can be served cold or warm depending on preference.
