Ground Turkey Teriyaki Bowls (Whole30, AIP)
Ground Turkey Teriyaki Bowls combine ground turkey cooked with diced onions, garlic, ginger, and mixed bell peppers coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce using coconut aminos and rice vinegar. Served over cauliflower rice, this dish offers a savory, slightly tangy flavor with a balanced blend of fresh vegetables and tender turkey. The cauliflower rice adds a low-carb, vegetable-based base, making the meal filling and well-rounded.
Ingredients
Turkey Bowls

Instructions

Notes
- Coconut aminos substitute gluten-free or regular soy sauce if desired.
- Use fresh or thawed frozen vegetables; ensure frozen veggies are room temperature before cooking.
