Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

1 Tbsp sesame oil (or favorite cooking oil)

2-3 garlic cloves (minced)

2 tsp grated ginger

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp onion powder

3 Tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)

1-2 Tbsp sriracha

2-3 T chicken broth

2 tsp honey

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp sea salt (more or less to taste)

2 tsp corn starch

½ c mayonnaise

3 Tbsp sweet chili sauce

½-1 Tbsp sriracha (more to kick up the spice)

1 tsp rice vinegar

2 tsp honey

rice, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, shelled edamame, pickled onions, avocado, shredded cabbage, sliced green onion, sesame seeds and more!

Directions

Prep Bang Bang Sauce: Add all of the bang bang sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk well to combine. Adjust flavor by adding more spice with extra sriracha or cutting it a bit with more honey or sweet chili sauce. Chill until ready to serve.

Prepare the Ground Turkey Mixture: Over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of sesame oil to a large skillet, When glistening, add the ground turkey and break into smaller pieces. When turkey is browned and reaches internal temperature of 165°F, shift heat to medium-low heat and add in remaining ingredients, except the cornstarch.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. To thicken up the mixture, sprinkle the corn starch over top and stir to combine. Just before serving, I like to stir in about 2 tablespoons of the bang bang sauce into the meat (this is optional)

Assemble Rice Bowls: No rules here! Add rice, veggies and all of your favorites. Spoon the ground turkey mixture in and then drizzle bang bang sauce over top. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
