Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey (halal alternative)
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce (for a vegetarian option, use tamari)
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise (non-alcoholic)
1-2 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
1 tbsp lime juice
Chopped green onions for garnish
Steamed broccoli florets
Instructions
Rinse and drain the rice; cook in simmering water for 15-18 minutes until tender.
Sauté ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Add diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar for the bang bang sauce.
Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with turkey mixture and vegetables.
Drizzle bang bang sauce over each bowl and garnish with green onions and steamed broccoli.
Notes
For higher spice, add an extra teaspoon of sriracha.
Swap bell pepper with zucchini or carrots.
Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
Substitute ground turkey with halal chicken or tofu for dietary preferences.
