3 cups uncooked instant brown rice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 lb smoked turkey breast, cut into 1x1/4x1/4-inch strips (2 cups)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 2x1/4-inch strips
8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cups thin jicama strips (about 2 inches long)

2/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar

Cook rice as directed on package, omitting butter and salt. In very large (4-quart) bowl, toss rice and lemon juice. Spread rice in 15x10x1-inch pan. Place in freezer 15 minutes or in refrigerator 1 hour to chill.
