Ground Turkey Burrito Bowl
This ground turkey burrito bowl is delicious and versatile, making it the perfect weeknight dinner. The star of the bowl lies a generous portion of savory smoky ground turkey. The ground turkey is cooked in a large skillet with garlic and onion to create an aromatic base. Tomato paste is added and it’s seasoned to perfection with a blend of cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and oregano. A little chicken broth adds some moisture back to this leaner meat. The ground turkey mixture is then laid on a bed of warm rice.
Surrounding the ground turkey is an assortment of fresh toppings, each adding its own unique twist to the dish. Black beans, roasted corn, crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, creamy avocado, spicy jalapeños, and fresh cilantro offer a burst of freshness and flavor with every mouthful. For added creaminess, cotija cheese and a dollop of sour cream really bring the bowl together. The combination of textures and tastes makes each bite perfect.
But what truly sets this ground turkey burrito bowl apart is its versatility. Whether you're a meat lover, a vegetarian, or somewhere in between, this bowl has something for everyone. Swap out the ground turkey for grilled chicken, tofu, or even roasted vegetables to create a customized dish that suits your dietary preferences and taste buds.
So whether you're enjoying it for a quick weeknight dinner or a leisurely weekend lunch, this bowl is sure to satisfy your cravings!
