A quick and easy savory ginger scallion turkey rice bowl topped with a soft fried egg, perfect for busy weeknights. This flavorful dish balances fresh ginger, scallions, and juicy ground turkey with a luscious runny yolk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey (lean or regular)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 4 large scallions (green onions), sliced thinly
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice (about 1 cup uncooked)
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes
  • Optional: fresh cilantro or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions to yield about 2 cups cooked (15-20 minutes). If using leftover rice, bring to room temperature or lightly steam before assembling.
  2. While the rice cooks, finely grate the ginger, mince the garlic, and slice the scallions thinly, separating white and green parts (about 5 minutes).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and white parts of scallions; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add ground turkey, crumble with a spatula, and cook 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and starting to brown, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in grated ginger, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and chili flakes if using. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend flavors, then remove from heat.
  6. In a separate small non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack in eggs carefully and cook 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cover pan briefly or cook longer without overdoing it.
  7. Assemble bowls by spooning warm rice, topping with the turkey mixture, and scattering reserved green scallion parts on top.
  8. Place a soft fried egg on each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro or basil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Grate ginger finely to avoid fibrous chunks. Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning turkey to ensure caramelization. Use medium heat and a non-stick pan for soft frying eggs to prevent sticking. Taste turkey mixture before adding extra soy sauce to balance saltiness. Leftover rice works well and speeds up assembly. Store turkey and rice separately from eggs for best leftover quality.
