Ingredients
For the Ground Turkey
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup purple cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper chopped
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 bunch green onions chopped
For the Bowls:
- 2 to 4 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 to 2 large avocado sliced
- ½ to 1 cup raw or roasted cashews
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds optional
- ½ to 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional
Instructions
Cook the Ground Turkey:
- Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large thick-bottomed pot or a 12-inch skillet with a deep lip.
- Sauté the chopped onion until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh garlic, chopped mushrooms and fresh grated ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have sweated out much of their liquid.
- Transfer the ground turkey to the pot and use a spatula to break it into small pieces while you’re browning it. Continue cooking until the ground turkey is cooked through.
- Add in the grated carrots, shredded cabbage, chopped bell pepper, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Give everything a big stir and continue cooking until the recently added veggies reach your desired level of doneness, about 2-8 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped green onions, and you’re ready to make bowls!
Prepare the Ground Turkey Rice Bowls:
- Load up large bowls with your desired amount of cooked brown rice, ground turkey meat, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Garnish with raw or roasted cashews, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for added pops of flavor and texture!
- Give the bowls a drizzle of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, or teriyaki sauce, and enjoy!
