INGREDIENTS

4 SERVINGS

TURKEY BOWLS

▢1 tbsp olive oil

▢1 pound ground turkey

▢⅓ cup diced onion

▢1 cup broccoli florets

▢1 red pepper, chopped

▢1 green pepper, chopped

▢1 tbsp minced garlic

▢1 tbsp fresh ginger

▢4 cups cauliflower rice

TERIYAKI SAUCE

▢⅓ cup coconut aminos, see note

▢1 tbsp rice vinegar

▢½ tsp minced garlic

▢½ tsp fresh ginger

INSTRUCTIONS 

First, add all turkey bowl ingredients (except cauliflower rice) to a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook for 5 to 7 minutes covered, stirring occasionally. Break up meat with spatula.

In another skillet, add cauliflower rice and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook on low for 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Once ground turkey is brown and crumbly, make teriyaki sauce.

Add all teriyaki sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Stir to combine.

Pour this sauce in turkey skillet. Bring to a light simmer.

Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly and veggies and meat are coated in sauce.

Remove from heat. Remove cauliflower rice from heat.

Assemble bowls. Add a scoop of cauliflower rice and a scoop of the turkey mixture to bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

NOTES

Coconut aminos is the gluten free and soy free version of soy sauce.  Use gluten free soy sauce or regular soy sauce in its place if desired.

I used Big Tree Farms Teriyaki flavor coconut aminos, but regular will work great too!

Use fresh or frozen veggies.  If using frozen, let them thaw before using or quickly microwave them so they are room temperature.

I suggest buying pre-riced cauliflower to save time!

For a teriyaki sauce with a little more heat, check out this Sugar Free Stir Fry sauce.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
