Ground turkey burrito bowl
Servings: 4 meals
Ingredients
For the turkey meat
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- salt and black pepper to taste
For the veggies
- 2 medium bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini cut into sticks
- ½ large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and black pepper to taste
To serve
- 1 cup uncooked rice cooked according to package directions
- 4 cups lettuce or leafy greens of choice
- shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, topped tomatoes, smashed black beans, lime, jalapenos, green onions, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, burrito sauce (see full text above) etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cook your ground turkey- Add oil to a large skillet pan oven medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add the ground turkey and spices, crumble the meat using a spatula as it cooks so you get small bite sized taco meat pieces and continue cooking until the meat is browned and no longer pink in colour.
- Cook your base ingredients (rice and veggies)- follow the package instructions to cook your rice. To cook your vegetables, add your sliced onions, peppers and zucchini to a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with spices. Toss to coat. Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, shaking the tray halfway the ensure the veggies are cooked evenly on both sides.
- Prep your topping ingredients- While you are waiting for your turkey meat, rice and veggies to cook prepare your toppings.
- To construct your bowls- lay out all of the toppings, as well as your meat, rice and vegetables and allow everyone to customize their own bowls. OR for a great meal prep idea, portion out some of each ingredient into containers and store in the fridge for up to 4 days!
