Friends, I am SO excited to share this one with you. You know I love a recipe that is both easy AND delicious, and this one truly delivers on both fronts. The moment I took my first bite, I knew I had to get this recipe on the blog immediately.

What I love most about this recipe is how perfectly timed it is.

What You Need to Make These Ginger Lime Turkey Bowls

Jasmine Rice: Fluffy jasmine rice soaks up all of that delicious ginger lime sauce. You can also sub brown rice or cauliflower rice if you prefer.
Green Beans: Fresh green beans are roasted in the oven until perfectly tender with slightly crispy edges.
Olive Oil: A drizzle of olive oil helps the green beans roast up in the oven.
Sesame Oil: Sesame oil is used for sautéing the scallions, garlic, and ginger, and it adds a rich, toasty depth of flavor to the turkey. You can also use avocado oil as a substitute.
Scallions: Both the whites and greens of the scallions go into this—the whites get sautéed with the garlic and ginger to build the base of the sauce, and the greens are used as a fresh garnish on top!
Garlic: Adds bold, savory flavor to the turkey.

Ginger: Fresh grated ginger (or ginger paste) adds a bright, warming flavor that is absolutely essential to the dish. I recommend using fresh over ground for the best results!
Ground Turkey: Ground turkey is lean, packed with protein, and cooks quickly, making it perfect for weeknight dinners. You can also substitute ground chicken if that’s what you have on hand!
Maple Syrup: A touch of maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the salty soy sauce and spicy sriracha.
Soy Sauce: If you want to keep this recipe gluten-free, you can swap it for coconut aminos or tamari.
Sriracha: Sriracha adds a gentle kick of heat to the sauce without making it too spicy. Feel free to adjust the amount to your liking!
Limes: Fresh lime juice brightens up the entire dish and gives these bowls their signature flavor. I use the juice of two whole limes, and I highly recommend using fresh-squeezed!
Salt & Pepper: A teaspoon each of kosher salt and ground black pepper is all you need.
Garnishes: Chopped roasted peanuts, chili crisp, and additional sliced green onions take these bowls from great to absolutely incredible — don’t skip them!

How to Make These Easy 25-Minute Turkey Bowls

To make these bowls, start by cooking your jasmine rice according to the package instructions and set it aside. While the rice is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F and prep the green beans.

Trim the ends off the green beans and transfer them to a large baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil on top, toss to coat, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast the green beans for 12–15 minutes, tossing at the halfway point. If you want extra crispy edges, broil them for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end. Remove them from the oven and set aside.

While the green beans are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Once the oil is warm, add the scallions, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Then, add in the ground turkey and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break it down into small pieces. Cook the turkey through completely.

Once the turkey is cooked, add in the maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Stir to combine and continue to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the sauce has slightly reduced and everything is well coated. Remove from heat.

To assemble the bowls, add a scoop of jasmine rice to the bottom of each bowl. Add the roasted green beans on one side and the ginger lime turkey on the other side. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top. Then, garnish with the chopped roasted peanuts, additional green onions, and a drizzle of chili crisp. Serve and enjoy!
