  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs lean ground turkey (93/7)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp cumin

Salt & black pepper to taste

4 cups broccoli florets

2 large bell peppers, diced

1 small red onion, roughly chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt & black pepper to taste

4 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss broccoli, bell peppers, and red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring halfway.

2. While vegetables roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, breaking it up. Cook 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

3. Prepare grains according to package instructions if not already cooked.

4. Let vegetables and turkey cool slightly. Divide grains among 4 meal prep containers. Top with ground turkey and roasted vegetables. Garnish with parsley or cilantro if desired. Cool completely before sealing with lids. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave 2-3 minutes or in a skillet with a splash of water.

Notes

Grains can be batch-cooked ahead to save time. For low-carb, use cauliflower rice. Customize vegetables and seasonings as desired. Cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess. Bowls can be frozen for up to 2 months, though vegetables may soften upon thawing.
