Ingredients
Scale

- 1 pound (450g) ground turkey
- 1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (60ml) sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) garlic powder

- 1 cup (150g) shredded carrots
- 1 cup (150g) sliced cucumbers
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- While the turkey cooks, prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Once the turkey is cooked, remove from heat and stir in half of the bang bang sauce until well coated.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with the saucy ground turkey.
- Arrange shredded carrots and sliced cucumbers around the turkey in each bowl.
- Drizzle the remaining bang bang sauce over the bowls.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Meal Prep Tip: Cook the turkey and rice ahead of time. Store sauce, cooked turkey, and fresh veggies separately. Assemble bowls just before eating for best texture.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce or add a dash of sriracha for more heat.
