Turmeric Ginger Ground Turkey Bowls
These turmeric ginger ground turkey bowls combine lean protein, vibrant vegetables, and aromatic turmeric-ginger flavors into a quick, healthy meal perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
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
- Heat 3 tablespoons avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
- Add the ground turkey and cook for 3 minutes per side, then break it into smaller pieces with a spatula.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, and sea salt. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until the turkey is cooked through.
- Optional: Add a splash of coconut aminos, teriyaki sauce, or soy-free tamari for extra flavor.
- You can cook the veggies with the turkey or in a separate skillet. For the first option, add the chopped carrots, squash, and broccoli to the turkey. Stir well, cover with a lid, and cook for 8-12 minutes until tender-crisp. For separate cooking, heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a second skillet, add the vegetables, and sauté uncovered until they reach your desired texture (about 5-7 minutes).
- Divide the cooked turkey and vegetables among four bowls. For a balanced meal, serve with a scoop of steamed brown rice or cauliflower rice, and drizzle your favorite sauce on top if desired.
