- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey in the hot skillet until partially cooked and crumbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

- Bake in the preheated oven until turkey and rice are cooked through and filling is hot, about 50 minutes.
