WHAT GOES INTO A GROUND BEEF TERIYAKI BOWL?
The basic ingredients of what goes into a teriyaki bowl is rice, ground turkey, broccoli, carrots, onions, green onions, garlic, and sauce. Then you can add other vegetables or condiments that you want.
SUBS AND TIPS
- First, you can use long-grain brown rice instead of white rice.
- Or, you can sub the rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice if you wish. I use frozen cauliflower rice because it just as nutrient-dense and is quick and easy to make. Get the microwavable steam bag for very little hands-on prep time.
- Not a ground turkey fan? Use beef, it’s still much healthier than fast food! Tofu is another option instead of ground turkey.
CAN I FREEZE GROUND BEEF TERIYAKI BOWL?
Yes! This healthy rice bowl is also freezer-friendly! It’s good for up to 2 months in the freezer! You can freeze the whole meal right in your meal prep containers.
To thaw, simply let the whole thing defrost overnight in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, microwave until steaming hot. Much cheaper than frozen prepared meal kits!
This is such a quick dinner. It’s always fun with the boys get involved and they enjoy building their bowls for this dinner.
