Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped *
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced *
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated or sliced
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, or 2 tsp fresh turmeric, grated
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, to taste
- 4 stalks green onion, chopped
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 large yellow squash, chopped
- 1 large crown broccoli, chopped
Instructions
- Make the Turkey: Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent (about 3 minutes). Add the ground turkey and brown for 3 minutes per side. Use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces. Stir in garlic, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Add green onion and stir to combine.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet or a separate one, heat 1 Tbsp avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped carrots, yellow squash, and broccoli. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp (about 8-12 minutes total).
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the turkey and vegetables among bowls, layering them with your choice of rice or cauliflower rice. For extra flavor, drizzle with coconut aminos or your favorite sauce.
Notes
Pro Tip: For a vegetarian option, try swapping the turkey with crumbled tofu or plant-based ground meat. For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne.
