Cauliflower Rice Bowl with Ground Turkey and Vegetables
*Note for the cook: I like to cook everything separately so I can organize in sections in my serving bowl but if you are in a hurry, you can definitely cook the vegetables with the ground turkey in the same pan. This delicious dish is also great as a filling for lettuce cups or in baked or air fried wontons! Whether you are cooking for a family of four or just for yourself, this Cauliflower Rice Bowl with Ground Turkey is delicious and can easily be packed and prepped for meals for the week!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower leaves and stem removed
- 1 zucchini chopped
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 (8 oz.) package shiitake mushrooms chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin, split
- 1 (16 oz./1 lb.) package Jennie-O Ground Turkey

- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil plus more for garnish if desired
- salt and pepper
- serve with kimchi
- serve with gim (roasted seaweed sheets)
- fresh scallions diced for garnish
- toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into smaller chunks and place into a food processor. Pulse until you have small pieces, similar to grains of rice. You can also just chop into small bits using a knife if you don’t have a food processor. Set aside.
- Using three separate pans*, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in each over medium-high heat. In one pan, sauté the cauliflower rice. In the next pan, the zucchini, onions and mushrooms and in the last pan, cook the Jennie-O Ground Turkey until all browned and and the vegetables are cooked**. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and some salt and pepper to the cooked ground turkey and mix together. Remove from the heat.
- To serve: Place some cauliflower rice on the bottom of your serving dish. Top with the cooked vegetables and cooked seasoned Jennie-O Ground Turkey. Add a light drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Add some kimchi and garnish with the scallions and toasted sesame seeds. You can crush the gim and sprinkle over the top, or you can eat everything with the gim, placing a little bit of everything onto a piece of gim, wrapping and eating. Enjoy!

**I like my vegetables to have a nice bite to them and I don't want them too soft. Cook them until your desired level of doneness. Same for the cauliflower rice: you can eat this raw, or sauté and warm through for a few minutes.
