# Directions:
01 - Bring water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. Carefully add eggs and simmer for 7 minutes until yolks reach jammy consistency. Transfer eggs to an ice bath and peel once cooled.
02 - Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until softened, approximately 3 minutes.
03 - Add ground turkey to the skillet. Cook while breaking it up with a spatula until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
04 - Stir in julienned carrot and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
05 - Lower heat to medium. Add gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and broth. Stir thoroughly to coat turkey evenly and bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
06 - Add heavy cream if using and baby spinach. Cook until spinach wilts completely, approximately 1 minute.
07 - Fold in cooked rice, mixing thoroughly until rice is heated through and evenly coated with sauce.
08 - Taste the skillet mixture and adjust seasonings as needed for balance of spice, sweetness, and umami.
09 - Divide rice skillet into bowls. Top each serving with a halved jammy egg, sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and kimchi if desired.
