Ground Turkey Bowls with Cabbage Rice
Description
This recipe creates a nutrient-rich bowl centered on ground turkey cooked alongside diced onion, apple, and mushrooms for a savory-slightly sweet base. The addition of garlic, oregano, and ground ginger brings aromatic and warming notes. Zucchini and spinach add moisture and freshness, making the mixture tender and vibrant. The turkey is browned and cooked together with all ingredients to build integrated, balanced flavors.
The cabbage rice is prepared by using a food processor to grate a large head of green cabbage into small, rice-like pieces. This is sautéed in avocado oil with a pinch of salt to create a low-carb rice alternative. The sautéed cabbage rice has a light, subtle cabbage flavor and a texture that contrasts well with the cooked turkey mixture. The avocado oil used in both components provides a smooth, neutral base for cooking.
The dish is assembled as bowls combining the savory, seasoned turkey and vegetable mixture with the cabbage rice, offering a complete, balanced meal that is rich in protein and vegetables with varied textures from soft to slightly crisp.
Ingredients
For the Turkey:
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 yellow onion diced, small
- 1 apple peeled, cored and chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups mushrooms chopped
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 zucchini chopped
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 4 cups baby spinach
For the Cabbage Rice:
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 green cabbage grated, large head
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
Prepare the Turkey:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high and add the onion and chopped apple. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking another 3 minutes.
- Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey in the open space. Allow it to brown 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip and brown for 1-2 minutes on the other side. Stir the ground turkey in with the vegetables.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate. Cover and cook 5 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the zucchini has softened. Taste mixture for flavor and add sea salt to taste. Serve with cabbage rice (instructions below).
Prepare the Cabbage Rice:
- Chop the cabbage into quarters (or smaller if the head is very large) and place in a food processor. Pulse until rice-sized shapes form.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high. Add the cabbage rice and cover. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage has begun to soften and turn golden-brown, about 8 minutes.
