Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 cup cooked white rice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Optional: sliced cucumbers or pickled radish for serving

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the Korean-inspired sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's no longer pink and cooked through.
4. Pour the prepared Korean-inspired sauce over the cooked turkey, stirring well to coat the meat evenly. Allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, sauté the julienned carrots and sliced bell pepper until they become tender-crisp.
6. To assemble the bowls, start with a serving of cooked white rice as the base. Top with the Korean ground turkey mixture, sautéed vegetables, shredded cabbage, and chopped green onions.
7. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and garnish.
8. For an extra kick, serve with sliced cucumbers or pickled radish on the side.
9. Enjoy the Korean Ground Turkey & Rice Bowls while they're still warm, savoring the delectable blend of Korean-inspired flavors and textures.
