Turmeric Ginger Ground Turkey Bowls
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing finely chopped onion in avocado oil until translucent, then browning lean ground turkey before adding minced garlic, fresh grated ginger, turmeric, salt, and chopped green onions. The turkey mixture cooks until fully done, absorbing the spices. Vegetables—carrots, yellow squash, and broccoli—can be cooked together with the turkey in the same pan by stirring them in after browning, covering, and cooking until tender or cooked separately by sautéing in avocado oil and cooking until done. This method preserves vegetable texture and integrates flavors. The seasoned turkey provides a flavorful protein base while the turmeric and ginger add subtle earthiness and warmth.
Serving these bowls makes a balanced entrée by combining protein and vegetables in one dish. The recipe offers flexibility to add extra sauces or adjust spices to taste.
Note: For low-FODMAP diets, onion and garlic can be omitted and additional ginger or vinegar added to maintain flavor.
Ingredients
For the Turmeric Ground Turkey:
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped*
- 1 lb ground turkey lean
- 3 cloves garlic minced*
- 1 Tbsp ginger peeled and grated or sliced, fresh
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric or 2 tsp fresh turmeric, grated, ground
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 4 green onion chopped, stalks
For the Bowls:
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 large yellow squash chopped
- 1 large broccoli crown chopped
Instructions
Make the Turkey:
- Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the turkey and brown for 3 minutes per side before using a spatula to break it into smaller pieces. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Cook 5 to 8 minutes longer, or until turkey is cooked through. If desired, add any sauces, such as teriyaki sauce, coconut aminos, etc.
Saute the Vegetables:
- You can either cook the vegetables in the same skillet as the turkey, or cook them separately. To cook them with the turkey, simply add the vegetables after browning the turkey, stir well, and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables reach desired done-ness and turkey is cooked through, about 8 to 12 minutes.
- To cook the vegetables separately, heat avocado oil in a separate non-stick skillet over medium-high and add the chopped vegetables. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking until vegetables reach desired done-ness.
Compile the Bowls:
- Fill bowls with desired amount of turmeric ground turkey and vegetables. If desired, you can serve over a bed of steamed brown or white rice, and/or drizzle on any of your favorite sauces.
Notes
- Omit onion and garlic to make the dish low-FODMAP and increase ginger or add mustard or cider vinegar to enhance flavor if desired.
- Cook vegetables either with the turkey or separately for preferred texture.
