Description
A delicious and satisfying meal that combines savory ground turkey with fresh veggies and a creamy Bang Bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cucumber, sliced thinly
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar. Adjust spice levels to taste. Set aside. This sauce can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days—it only gets better!
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, or until no longer pink. Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until well combined and flavorful. The meat should be tender, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
- While the turkey is cooking, warm your cooked rice (leftovers work great). Then prep your veggies—shred the carrots and cabbage, thinly slice the cucumber, and chop the green onions.
- Start with a generous scoop of rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with the savory ground turkey, then layer in the carrots, cabbage, cucumber, and green onions. Drizzle everything with the bang bang sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Add fresh herbs if you like.
- These bowls are best enjoyed warm, but they also make a fabulous chilled lunch the next day. The creamy, spicy bang bang sauce ties everything together in the most satisfying way.
Notes
- The Bang Bang sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.
- This recipe is versatile; feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables.
- Leftover turkey can be used for other dishes, such as sandwiches or salads.
