Description
A quick weeknight meal featuring creamy bang bang sauce, lean ground turkey, and crisp vegetables served over jasmine rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. Fluff and keep warm.
- In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, and lime juice until smooth — this is your bang bang sauce. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as desired.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
- Add the chopped red bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli to the skillet. Sauté with the turkey until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4–6 minutes.
- Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the turkey and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Let everything warm together for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve the turkey and sauce over warm jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce. For spice control, adjust the sriracha to taste.
