Instructions

1. Cook the rice according to package directions and set it aside warm.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.

4. Stir in the garlic and fresh ginger and cook for 30 seconds.

5. Add the ground turkey and break it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

6. Season with salt and black pepper, then cook until the turkey is fully browned and no longer pink.

7. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey until the turkey is evenly coated.

8. Let the mixture cook for 2 more minutes so the flavor settles into the meat.

9. Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls.

10. Spoon the ground turkey mixture over the rice.

11. Top each bowl with shredded carrots, cucumber, avocado, and green onions.

12. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with sriracha if desired.

13. Serve immediately while the turkey is warm and the toppings are fresh.

Notes

Use freshly cooked rice for the best texture, but leftover chilled rice works very well for meal prep.

If you want more heat, add extra sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the turkey while it cooks.

Store the rice, turkey, and fresh toppings separately when possible so everything stays fresh and crisp.
