Ingredients

For the turkey meat

½ tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
salt and black pepper to taste

For the veggies

2 medium bell peppers thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini cut into sticks
½ large yellow onion thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and black pepper to taste

To serve

1 cup uncooked rice cooked according to package directions
4 cups lettuce or leafy greens of choice
shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, topped tomatoes, smashed black beans, lime, jalapenos, green onions, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, burrito sauce (see full text above) etc.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook your ground turkey- Add oil to a large skillet pan oven medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add the ground turkey and spices, crumble the meat using a spatula as it cooks so you get small bite sized taco meat pieces and continue cooking until the meat is browned and no longer pink in colour.
Cook your base ingredients (rice and veggies)- follow the package instructions to cook your rice. To cook your vegetables, add your sliced onions, peppers and zucchini to a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with spices. Toss to coat. Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, shaking the tray halfway the ensure the veggies are cooked evenly on both sides.
Prep your topping ingredients- While you are waiting for your turkey meat, rice and veggies to cook prepare your toppings.
To construct your bowls- lay out all of the toppings, as well as your meat, rice and vegetables and allow everyone to customize their own bowls. OR for a great meal prep idea, portion out some of each ingredient into containers and store in the fridge for up to 4 days!
