These Thai Turkey Bowls are packed with flavor and great for meal prep! Lean ground turkey is sautéed with garlic, ginger, and a sweet-savory Thai-inspired sauce, then served over rice with crunchy veggies and fresh herbs. It’s quick, healthy, and full of that irresistible takeout-style taste — without the guilt.
For the turkey:
1 lb ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
Juice of ½ lime
For the bowls:
2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
1 cup shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced or chopped
¼ cup chopped peanuts or cashews
¼ cup fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
Extra lime wedges, for serving
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through — about 7–8 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until everything is well combined.
To assemble bowls: Add a scoop of rice to each container or bowl. Top with ground turkey, then layer on carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and chopped herbs.
Sprinkle with nuts and add a lime wedge for squeezing.
You can swap turkey for ground chicken or beef.
Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice or shredded cabbage.
