Ingredients
For the Rice
- 2 ½ cups (375 g) cooked rice
For the Vegetables
- 1 medium (200 g) sweet onion
- 1 medium (150 g) green pepper
- 2 ½ cups (250 g) shredded carrots
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Turkey
- 2 lbs (681 g) ground turkey 93/7
- 8 oz (227 g) mushrooms
- 1 tbsp (21 g) honey
- 2 tsp (10 g) sriracha
- 1 tbsp (15 g) garlic minced
- ¼ tsp (1 g) ground ginger
- 1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) 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. 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 and 1 Tbsp minced garlic to cook.
- 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 ¼ 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!
Thanks Melisa, glad you enjoyed it 😎
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.
Haha thank you Kristina 😎
Delicious and simple. Lots of flavour. My 7 year old loved it too. It’s got a little bit of kick but not spicy.
Thank you 😎😎
