Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (lean)
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Cook Rice: Prepare jasmine or brown rice according to package directions. Set aside and keep warm.
- Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust Sriracha for desired spice. Refrigerate until ready.
- Cook Turkey: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Add Veggies: Stir in shredded carrots and red bell pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly but keep some crunch.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each with ground turkey mixture. Drizzle generously with bang bang sauce.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and chopped cilantro over bowls. Add optional toppings like chopped peanuts, avocado slices, or fresh lime wedges for extra flavor and texture.
