Description
Delicious Ground Turkey Rice Bowls for a Quick Dinner Fix
Ingredients
- Ground Turkey
- Rice (jasmine or brown rice, quinoa or cauliflower rice as alternatives)
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos as a substitute)
- Fresh ginger (or powdered ginger)
- Minced garlic (or powdered garlic)
- Green onions (or chives as a substitute)
- Sesame oil (or olive oil as a substitute)
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. I like to use a rice cooker for perfect results, but stovetop works just as well.
- Prepare the Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of sesame oil. Once hot, add the ground turkey and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s browned and cooked through.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in your chopped vegetables of choice. Cook them for about 3-5 minutes, until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Season: Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together, allowing it to simmer for another 2 minutes. This will help all the flavors meld beautifully.
- Assemble the Bowls: Once the rice is cooked, divide it into bowls. Top with the turkey and vegetable mixture.
- Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if you have them on hand.
