Asian Ground Turkey Bowls

About This Recipe

Ground turkey mixed in an Asian inspired sauce and served with a side of rice, and vegetables.  Topping this dish with a few peanuts after reheating would be a great addition.

Ingredients

• 2½ cups cooked rice
• 1 medium sweet onion
• 1 large green pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 lbs ground turkey (93/7)
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tsp sriracha
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Wash and cut your green pepper into a large dice. Cut your sweet onion into a large dice as well.
2. Cut your mushrooms into quarters if they are small or more if they are larger mushrooms.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat.
4. Add the onion first and cook for 1-2 minutes then add in the green peppers and garlic. Cook until soft and remove from the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat. Add in the ground turkey.
6. When the turkey is half way browned, add in the chopped mushrooms and cook together until the turkey has fully browned.
7. When the turkey has finished, add in 1 Tbsp of honey, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp sesame oil, and ½ tsp ground ginger. Stir to incorporate and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Cook enough rice to have 2 ½ cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of uncooked rice will yield around 3 cups of cooked rice.
9. This recipe makes 5 servings. You do not need to cook the shredded carrots because they will cook when reheated in the microwave. Add ½ cup of rice and carrots to each container and divide the remaining ingredients equally.
