Description

Bang Bang ground turkey bowls layer savory skillet turkey, rice, crisp vegetables, and a creamy sweet-spicy sauce for a fast dinner or meal prep bowl.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound lean ground turkey

3 cups cooked rice, white or brown

1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

1 cup diced cucumber

1 cup shredded carrots

2 green onions, sliced

1/3 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha

1 tablespoon lime juice

Sesame seeds, optional for serving


Instructions

  1. Whisk mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Chill until serving.
  2. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles.
  4. Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
  5. Add soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the turkey is glossy and well seasoned.
  6. Divide warm rice among bowls, then add the turkey, cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and green onions.
  7. Drizzle with bang bang sauce and finish with sesame seeds or extra lime.
  8. Serve right away, or pack the sauce separately for meal prep.

Notes

Cook the rice and turkey ahead, chop the vegetables, and whisk the sauce up to 4 days in advance. For meal prep, keep sauce and cucumbers separate until serving.

Store assembled components in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat only the rice and turkey, then add cold vegetables and sauce after warming.
