Chimichurri Rice Bowls
Report
Ground turkey, rice, sweet potatoes, and broccoli mixed together and served with a side of chimichurri sauce to go over the top. This meal is incredibly flavorful and a breeze to prep.

Ingredients
For the Main Dish
- 2 lbs ground turkey 93/7
- 1 lb frozen broccoli
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Chimichurri
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp shallot minced
- 1 tbsp oregano
Instructions
For the Rice
- Cook enough rice to yield 2 cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make between 2-3 cups of cooked rice depending on what kind you use.
For the Potatoes and Broccoli
- Wash and cut your potatoes into a large dice. If your broccoli is in large florets, cut it as well.
- I used an air fryer to cook these. Set your air fryer to the air fry setting at 400°F. Add the potatoes and spray lightly with oil. Shake every few minutes. Once the potatoes have finished, remove and add the broccoli and cook for 8 minutes.
- If you don't have an air fryer, preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Toss the potatoes in a bit of oil and spread on a sheet pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes and then flip.
- When you remove the tray to flip the potatoes, add the broccoli and cook an additional 8-10 minutes. If your broccoli has lots of ice on the outside, you may want to use a separate sheet pan so the water that melts off doesn't soak the potatoes.
For the Turkey
- Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the turkey and brown. Cook off any water that remains in the pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Once the rice, broccoli, potatoes, and turkey have all cooked. Mix them all together in a giant bowl/pan. Season to taste.
For the Chimichurri
- Wash your parsley and cilantro. Dry with paper towels and cut of the stems. You don't need to pick off all of the leaves, just cut off the stem under the leaves.
- Roughly chop the leaves until you have 25 grams (¼ cup) worth of each.
- Peel the garlic and mince the onion until you have 15 grams (2 tbsp) worth.
- Place all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until it is homogenous and all of the ingredients are broken down.
Plating
- Divide the chimichurri evenly 5 ways. Store in a smaller separate container to place within your meal prep container. You could just mix in the chimichurri with the food but I find it better to keep on the side.
- This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide the meat mixture evenly 5 ways between all of your containers.
