This recipe is simple and versatile. It is versatile because you can use any vegetables or meats to suit your preferences. I use frozen peas and carrots to keep it simple, but you can also use zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms as well. I think most vegetables whether they are frozen, fresh or even canned will go well in this dish. To make this meal more nutritious and healthier, I chose ground turkey and brown jasmine rice. Ground turkey has lower fat content than red meats and the brown rice is more nutritious than white rice. However, ground pork or beef will work well in this recipe, and any long grain rice will work, brown or white too. The best thing about this recipe is that you can make it all in one pot.
