Ingredients

For the Turkey and Rice

1 pound Ground Turkey Feel free to swap with ground chicken, beef, or a plant-based meat alternative.
1 cup Jasmine Rice For a nutritious twist, consider brown rice or cauliflower rice.

For the Bang Bang Sauce

1/2 cup Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitution.
1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce If you prefer less processed options, honey or agave syrup works well.
1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce Adjust spiciness with hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes instead.
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Tamari is a fantastic gluten-free alternative.
1 tablespoon Lime Juice Lemon juice can be a suitable substitute if needed.

For the Vegetables

1 medium Red Bell Pepper Feel free to use any seasonal vegetables like zucchini or snap peas instead.
2 medium Carrots
2 cups Broccoli Mix with any favorite vegetables you have on hand.

For Cooking and Garnish

1 tablespoon Olive Oil Canola oil or avocado oil can also be used in its place.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions, about 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.
Stir in soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the turkey. Cook for an additional minute.
Add chopped red bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli, cooking for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Mix half of the Bang Bang sauce into the turkey and veggie mixture and cook for another minute.
Serve by mounding jasmine rice in bowls and topping with the turkey and vegetable mixture, drizzling remaining sauce over the top.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
