03 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
04 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
05 - 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
06 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
07 - 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned and drained

→ Pantry
09 - 2 cups cooked white rice, preferably day-old
10 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
11 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
12 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
13 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
14 - 1 tablespoon gochujang, Korean chili paste
15 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
16 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
17 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
18 - 1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
19 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
# Method:
01 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink, approximately 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a plate.
02 - Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.
03 - Add diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender-crisp.
04 - Return cooked turkey to the skillet. Add pineapple chunks and stir to combine thoroughly.
05 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, gochujang, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss all ingredients to coat evenly.
06 - Add cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Mix thoroughly and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and has absorbed the sauce flavors.
07 - Taste the skillet contents and adjust salt, pepper, or gochujang to your preference.
08 - In a separate nonstick pan, fry eggs sunny-side up if using. Serve one egg over each portion.
09 - Divide skillet contents among serving bowls. Top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
