- 2 cups uncooked rice white or brown, your choice
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 4 cloves garlic finely grated or minced
- ¼ cup raw honey
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for a gentle kick
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for brightness and balance
- ½ teaspoon onion powder for subtle savory depth
- Sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Step 4: Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together raw honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, rice vinegar, and onion powder. Pour this mixture over the turkey in the skillet. Stir well to coat the meat evenly.
Step 6: Assemble Your Bowl
- Use Lean Meat: Opt for lean ground turkey for a healthier option. You can also use ground chicken.
- Adjust Spice Level: If you’re sensitive to heat, leave out the red pepper flakes. Instead, add a dollop of sriracha when serving for those who do enjoy a kick.
- Cook Rice Properly: Follow the cooking instructions on your rice packaging carefully. For brown rice, allow more cooking time compared to white rice.
- Meal Prep: This dish keeps well in the fridge. Prepare extra servings to throw together for quick weeknight dinners.
- Garnish Varieties: Experiment with garnishes such as chopped cilantro or slivered almonds for a unique twist.
