Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shelled edamame (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Start by whisking together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on how spicy you like it. The sauce should be creamy with a tangy heat—set it aside while you prep the rest.
- Cook the Ground Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Once the turkey is fully cooked, stir in soy sauce and another drizzle of sriracha for extra depth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the turkey cook for another 1–2 minutes, soaking in all the flavors.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a bed of warm rice. Add the cooked turkey mixture on top. Arrange shredded carrots, edamame, and sliced cucumbers around the edges for color and crunch. Drizzle generously with your homemade Bang Bang sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy every bite of that creamy, spicy goodness.
Notes
- This recipe can be adjusted for spice levels by modifying the amount of sriracha.
