Report
All of the components of this burrito bowl can be made in advance. Simply reheat on the stove, or in the microwave, and then assemble with your desired components. When possible, go with low-sodium ingredients to control the amount of salt you have in your bowl. The taste is as good as it gets, and super healthy, too!

Instructions
Make the Ground Turkey Taco Meat
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
- Add the ground turkey and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook, stirring often, until no longer pink. If excess grease has rendered, soak it up with a paper towel, or tilt the skillet and spoon it off (discard safely).
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the meat is fully coated and aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the broth and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated but not dry, usually about 10 minutes. Cover and set aside.
Make the Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
- Add the rice, water, and bay leaf into a medium-sized saucepan (with a lid). Bring to a boil. Stir and lower the heat to LOW. Cover and simmer until the rice is tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Check the rice after 20 minutes, and add a little more water if needed. Continue this process until the rice is fluffy and soft. Remove from the heat and remove the bay leaf.
- Stir in the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Cover and set aside.
Prepare the Seasoned Beans
- In a small saucepan, add the rinsed beans, broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Cover and set aside.
Build the Burrito Bowls
- Scoop about ⅓ cup of the rice into individual serving bowls. Top with turkey taco meat, seasoned beans, and other desired toppings. Serve at once.
