Korean/American Super Easy Stirfry

First get the rice started in a rice cooker (just follow the directions on the bag of rice); Then start browning the ground turkey meat in a bigger sauce pan (as later you'll be adding all the rice, etc.). Season the meat as you like it. While the meat is browning, start chopping the dill pickles into small bite-size (1/2 inch or so) pieces. When the rice and the meat are done, combine the rice, meat and pickles into the pan, pour some sesame oil into the pan and start "stir-frying" all the ingredients together while adding salt and pepper.
