Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 cup Asparagus spears, trimmed and chopped
- 1 large Carrot, grated
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped asparagus and grated carrot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Season with salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Fold in the cooked rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and the turkey mixture until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the slice is golden on top and set in the center.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
