  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Turkey:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

For the Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or chili-garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Bowls:

  • 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  2. Brown the Turkey: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add the ground turkey to the center. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Make the Sauce: While the turkey cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Pour the sauce over the cooked turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with the saucy turkey mixture.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add the thawed peas, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions to each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

 

  • Customize It: Add other veggies like broccoli, zucchini, or edamame. Top with a fried egg or avocado.
  • Make it Gluten-Free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • For Meal Prep: Store the turkey mixture, rice, and fresh toppings separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Assemble when ready to eat.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sriracha to your taste.
