How to Make Greek-Style Turkey Rice Bowls
First, cook the ground turkey in a pan until it is no longer pink.
Next, add the garlic and cook for a few more minutes. Then add in the feta, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, tomato sauce, herbs and spices.
Now it’s time to assemble the bowls. First, add some rice, then the ground turkey mixture, and toppings.
Storage
Store the rice, turkey, and toppings in separate containers to keep everything fresh and avoid sogginess. Reheat the turkey and rice in the microwave or on the stovetop, and keep the toppings cold for the perfect balance!
FAQ
Absolutely! Prep the turkey, rice, and toppings separately. When you’re ready to eat, just assemble and enjoy a fresh, delicious bowl.
For sure! Swap the turkey for chickpeas, lentils, or falafel, and you’ve got a plant-based version that’s just as delicious.
