Turkey Taco Bowls with Cilantro Lime Rice

for the cilantro lime rice:

1. In a medium-large saucepan with a heavy bottom, combine rice, water, salt, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn heat down to medium-low (“2” on our stove) and cover pan with lid. Simmer for 14 minutes (no peeking!), or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
2. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. Discard bay leaf. Drizzle lime juice over rice, sprinkle with cilantro, and fluff with a fork to combine. Serve warm.

for the turkey taco mixture:

1. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the turkey. Then add taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine. Turn heat down to medium-low and let simmer until water is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
2. Taste and adjust by adding salt and pepper, if desired.

to assemble the turkey taco bowls with cilantro lime rice:

1. Add a couple scoops of warm cilantro lime rice to the bottom of individual serving bowls, followed by a scoop of prepared turkey taco mixture.
2. Have the rest of your desired taco mix-ins and condiments ready for individuals to add as they please.
