For a vegetarian option, omit the ground turkey and add an extra can of beans or some chopped vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the rice for a richer flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce or omit it altogether. Fresh herbs are key to this dish, but if you don't have them on hand, you can substitute dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of each.
