04 - Stir in julienned carrot and cook for 2 minutes.
05 - Lower heat to medium. Add gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and broth. Stir to coat turkey evenly and bring to a simmer.
06 - Add heavy cream if using and baby spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, approximately 1 minute.
07 - Fold in cooked rice, mixing thoroughly until rice is heated through and well incorporated with the sauce.
08 - Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Slice jammy eggs in half. Distribute rice skillet into bowls and top each with a halved egg, scallions, sesame seeds, and kimchi if desired.
