Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean ground turkey
• 60 ml Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 spritz Cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, pineapple juice, coconut sugar, low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the turkey mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Add the marinated turkey and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is fully cooked and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the cooked brown rice to the pan and stir well to combine with the garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Lightly mist another non-stick pan with cooking spray and place it over medium-low heat. Crack two eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, cook the eggs to your desired doneness.

Step 7

Assemble your Low Fat Tocilog by plating a portion of the garlic brown rice, a serving of the lean turkey tocino, and one egg per plate.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthier take on this Filipino breakfast classic!
