03 - Roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
04 - Rinse the rice or quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine grains, water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes for rice or 12 to 15 minutes for quinoa, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
05 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula.
