If you are looking for an easy recipe to prep ahead for easy lunches or dinners during the week then this is perfect recipe. I have kept the recipe super simple, with common ingredients which will help you in meal prep with ease.
As like most meal prep recipes this recipe is also versatile and change the combination according to you, this particular set up gives a good balance of macro nutrients and the flavors complement each other just like in traditional Mexican meals. Turkey provides lean protein, with brown rice adding the healthy carbs and avocados will provide with the necessary healthy fat with tomatoes filling in for veggies.
It starts with taco seasoning. I usually make my own taco seasoning (check out this recipe for homemade taco seasoning), in this recipe though I have used a store bought taco seasoning as I had that handy.
I like turkey with taco seasoning, but you can also use lean ground beef, or ground chicken too the recipe remains the same in any case.
The rice component: use any kind of rice you prefer, I have used brown rice here. (You can also add cilantro rice, that would add extra flavors). If you want to skip the rice to keep it low carb, swap the rice with cauliflower. (Keto cauliflower rice)
Once you are done with your turkey and rice then all you have to do is assemble the bowls.
These turkey bowls will last between 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Be sure you use airtight containers!
Taco seasoned ground turkey browned in a skillet, served with a tomato salad, brown rice and sweet corn, easy to make meal prep recipe which is delicious and filling.
