Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- Jasmine or basmati rice (or quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Snap peas
- Chopped green onions
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once done, fluff it with a fork and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), ¼ cup of sweet chili sauce, and 1-2 tablespoons of Sriracha. Mix until smooth and adjust the spiciness to your liking. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks (about 7-10 minutes).
- Once the turkey is cooked, toss in your chopped vegetables—like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender yet crisp.
- Pour the prepared Bang Bang sauce over the cooked turkey and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- To serve, divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the Bang Bang turkey mixture, then garnish with chopped green onions and any other toppings you desire, like sesame seeds or cilantro.
