Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the Rice - Begin by cooking your rice according to the package instructions, which typically takes around 15-20 minutes. Rinse jasmine or brown rice in cold water before adding it to boiling salted water. Cook until tender and fluffy, absorbing all the liquid. Keep the cooked rice warm while you prepare the remaining components.
  2. Step 2: Brown the Ground Turkey - In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and break it apart with a spatula, cooking for 6-8 minutes until browned with an internal temperature of 165°F. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce - In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and honey to create the Bang Bang Sauce. Adjust the amount of sriracha to reach your desired heat level.
  4. Step 4: Combine Turkey and Sauce - Reduce the heat to low and pour the Bang Bang Sauce over the cooked turkey, stirring well to coat evenly and heating through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Bowls - Place a scoop of the cooked rice in each bowl and spoon the turkey mixture over it.
  6. Step 6: Add Fresh Veggies - Top each bowl with a vibrant array of sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, and shredded carrots.
  7. Step 7: Garnish and Serve - Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over each bowl and serve immediately while warm.
