Ingredients
  

Bang Bang Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp honey optional for extra sweetness
Turkey Stir Fry
  • 1 lb ground turkey 93% lean recommended
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
Bowls
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets steamed or roasted
  • 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Rice cooker or pot
  • Chef's knife

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey (if using). Set aside in the refrigerator.
  2. Cook rice according to package directions. While rice cooks, prepare your vegetables.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
  4. Add minced garlic and ginger to the turkey. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of the prepared Bang Bang sauce. Stir to coat the meat evenly. Remove from heat.
  6. While turkey rests, steam or quickly sauté broccoli florets until tender-crisp.
  7. Assemble bowls: Start with a base of rice, add a portion of the turkey mixture, broccoli, and fresh shredded cabbage.
  8. Drizzle generously with the remaining Bang Bang sauce.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, substitute half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. Leftovers store well for 3-4 days.
