Ground Turkey Bowls Ingredients

Ground turkey. Use lean ground turkey or if not available – ground chicken or ground beef, whatever you prefer.

Green Vegetables. The greens in this recipe are super rich in protein. We’re talking green beans, broccoli and spinach. You can use whatever vegetables you want, but cauliflower, kale or even bok choy would be the best substitutes here.

Seasonings. Tamari sauce (or soy sauce), sesame oil, crushed red pepper and lots of garlic are all pretty simple ingredients, but provide so much flavor.

Rice. As mentioned above, rice is optional and you can substitute it for quinoa or leave it out altogether if you’re following a more low-carb diet in order to lose weight (for example).

How To Make This Healthy Ground Turkey and Vegetable Recipe

Start by washing and chopping whatever vegetables you want to use. In this case, that would be just the spinach and broccoli, but I also peeled and minced the garlic.
Heat a skillet at medium-high heat and add the ground turkey with some garlic, crushed red pepper and olive oil to sautee for 2-3 minutes. Make sure to break the ground turkey apart with the cooking spatula until no longer pink.
Next, add in the broccoli, frozen green beans and spinach, then cover the skillet for about 3 minutes to allow the vegetables to cook.
Add in the tamari sauce, sesame oil, the rest of the garlic and the ginger and keep stirring occasionally. You need to do this for a few minutes (about 3 to max 4) to allow the turkey and the vegetables to cook through and absorb the flavors.
Well, congrats – you’ve got your easy dinner with ground turkey made in about 15-20 minutes. Now serve it up and enjoy immediately!

Serving Options

Rice is a great serving option for this meal. I also like to serve this dish with some chili oil to make it spicier. You can also use sriracha or whichever sauce you enjoy!

For a low-carb version, you can simply increase the amount of broccoli and green beans. That will also provide you with more protein, fiber and beneficial phytochemicals.

If you decide you don’t like rice, you can also serve the ground turkey and vegetable bowls with quinoa.
