Ingredients

For the Rice

For the Vegetables

For the Turkey

  • 2 lbs (908 g) ground turkey 93/7
  • 8 oz (227 g) mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp (21 g) honey
  • 2 tsp (10 g) sriracha
  • ½ tsp (2 g) ground ginger
  • 1 tsp (5 g) sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) olive oil
  • 3 tbsp (45 g) soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Vegetables

  • Wash and cut your green pepper into a large dice. Cut your sweet onion into a large dice as well.
  • Cut your mushrooms into quarters if they are small or more if they are larger mushrooms.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add the onion first and cook for 1-2 minutes then add in the green peppers and garlic. Cook until soft and remove from the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Turkey

  • Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat. Add in the ground turkey.
  • When the turkey is half way browned, add in the chopped mushrooms and cook together until the turkey has fully browned.
  • When the turkey has finished, add in 1 Tbsp of honey, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp sesame oil, and ½ tsp ground ginger. Stir to incorporate and season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Rice

  • Cook enough rice to have 2 ½ cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of uncooked rice will yield around 3 cups of cooked rice.

Plating

  • This recipe makes 5 servings. You do not need to cook the shredded carrots because they will cook when reheated in the microwave. Add ½ cup of rice and carrots to each container and divide the remaining ingredients equally.

    This dish has everything! Spice, color, FLAVOR! I used to make what I called “bowl of sadness”, because it was. Plain brown rice, steamed broccoli, and turkey. Salt and pepper to taste. This version is an upgraded, flavorful and drool-worthy substitute. Will definitely be making again!

    This recipe is now my favorite! When I was making it, I could hear angels sing how good it smelled and as I put everything together…it is so good.
    The only difference i made, since i’m not the most tolerant of spicy food I reduced the sriracha sauce by half and it’s barely felt and it still tastes and smells amazing.

    Simply one of the best recipes out there.

        Thanks Amy. This is my go to every week I don’t feel like spending any time meal prepping, in and out in 30 minutes 😎

    Delicious and simple. Lots of flavour. My 7 year old loved it too. It’s got a little bit of kick but not spicy.

    I used Gochujang instead of sriracha because it was all I had and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you for helping me on my meal prep journey. I always went with plain jane every day and this has really helped.

    This was the first mealprep recipce of yours I tried and after 3 months its still in my rotation almost every other week. I tried it with all kinds of ground meat – turkey, beef, mixed, lean, fatty… it always came out delicious. Can’t reccomend it enough.

    My first try off your site. Very tasty, great asian takeout flavor without the cost or msg. Used cholula instead of sriracha and it still came out good. I ended up being a lot more liberal with the soy/ginger/honey/sesame than it called for but it was a little too bland for my taste first go around.

    firstly, it’s GREAT.
    secondly… putting this into MFP (imported from here), *the calories are all wrong*. i’m showing this to be 660+ calories. : (

      I checked via fdc.nal.usda.gov for nutritional info and his numbers are pretty close. With just generic numbers from there, I came up with 36.6C, 39.4P, 22.3F 498.9 Cals. That’s close enough for me.

    I’ve made this twice for my family and they love it! I substituted ground beef for the turkey. We will definitely be making this often. It’s quick, very easy and flavorful. My sons and husband added more sriracha and red pepper flakes for more heat. They like it spicier than I do.

    Very good depth of flavor, though I did cook the carrots with the onions and peppers.
