Instructions

To make the turkey:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sautee onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the ground turkey and cook, mincing the meat with a wooden spoon. Once the meat is no longer pink, stir in all the seasonings.
  • Continue to cook until it begins to brown. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes more.

To make the cauliflower rice:

  • Heat oil in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
  • Stir in the cauliflower rice and season with cumin, sea salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until cauliflower is tender, 6-8 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, zest, cilantro, taste and adjust for salt and pepper.

To assemble your bowls:

  • Divide the cauliflower rice equally among 4 serving bowls. Top with turkey and all of your favorite toppings.
  • These bowls stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Enjoy!
