Recipe

In a medium saucepan, bring cups water, the oil, and

reduce the heat to low, and simmer covered for about
50 minutes, until the rice is tender. Drain the rice
if necessary, and set aside.
Meanwhile in a large nonstick skillet, cook the ground

about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the
turkey loses its pink color. Stir in the tomatoes and
their juice, tomato sauce, hot pepper sauce, oregano, and black pepper.
Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook,
uncovered, for about 45 minutes. Stir in the cooked
brown rice, simmer an additional 5 minutes, and serve immediately.
