Sweet Chili Turkey Bowls

Sweet Chili Turkey Bowls

Sweet Chili Turkey Bowls

This is a sweet-savory, one-pan-style bowl that delivers protein, carbs, and veggies without being a time suck. Lean ground turkey gets tossed in a sweet Thai chili–soy sauce with lime, then piled over fluffy jasmine rice and crisp green beans. It’s fast, crowd-friendly, and flexible enough for meal prep or a family-style dinner.

Active Prep Time : 15-20 minutes

Makes: 6 servings

Price : $21.70 ($3.60/firefighter)*

Ingredients

  • 3 ¾ cup water (for cooking rice)
  • 3 cups dry jasmine rice
  • 2, 12-oz bags of green beans
  • 2 lb lean ground turkey
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • ¾ cup sweet Thai chili sauce
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • Cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: crispy fried onions as a topping

Directions

  • In a medium pot, bring 3¾ cups water to a boil. Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt, cover, and reduce to a low simmer. Cook 15–18 minutes until tender, then remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.
  • Wash and trim green beans, then cut into 2-inch pieces. Juice the limes and roughly chop the cilantro.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add ground turkey, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess liquid if needed.
  • Add green beans to the skillet with the turkey, along with ¼ cup water. Cover and cook 3–5 minutes until beans are bright green and just tender.
  • Stir in sweet Thai chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Cook 1–2 minutes until everything is coated and slightly sticky. Remove from heat, top with cilantro and optional crispy fried onions, and serve over rice.
