Ground Turkey Meal Prep Bowls
Meal-prep the ground turkey + veggies once, eat for 4 days.
Method · 8 steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook jasmine rice per package directions (usually 1 cup rice + 1 3/4 cups water, simmer 18 minutes).
- 2
Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Spread on a sheet pan.
- 3
Toss broccoli florets with remaining 1 tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and black pepper. Add to the same sheet pan keeping veggies separated.
- 4
Roast 20 minutes, flipping veggies at the 12-minute mark. Sweet potatoes should be caramelized, broccoli crispy at the edges.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground turkey and break up with a spatula. Cook 5 minutes until no pink remains.
- 6
Add chili powder, remaining smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, remaining salt, tomato paste, and soy sauce. Stir and cook 2 more minutes until the paste darkens and coats the turkey.

Off heat, stir in lime juice.

Portion 4 meal-prep containers: 3/4 cup rice, 6 oz turkey, 1/2 cup sweet potato, heaping cup broccoli.
Chef's notes
- →Undercook broccoli slightly — it finishes cooking when you microwave the leftovers.
- →Sub cauliflower rice for jasmine to drop carbs by 40g.
- →Tomato paste is the secret — it thickens the turkey and makes the spices actually stick.
Storage
Fridge 4 days in glass containers. Microwave 2-3 minutes covered with a splash of water.
