How to make Korean turkey meal prep bowls
These meal prep bowls are so simple to prep! Cook your ground turkey, add some garlic and ginger, then add a simple sauce (soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and red pepper flakes). Stir to coat.
That’s it!
I served my Korean turkey with rice and sautéed broccoli, but there are a ton of different ways to mix this recipe up!
- swap the rice for cauliflower rice (or even zoodles) and try an alternative sweetener in the sauce to make this low carb
- the honey may be swapped for brown sugar or maple syrup
- the soy sauce may be swapped for tamari or coconut aminos to make it paleo-friendly (you’ll need to swap the rice as well)
- the ground turkey may be swapped for ground beef or chicken
Tips for perfect Korean Turkey Meal Prep Bowls
- I shook up my sauce in my trusty salad dressing shaker, but a jar works well too
- Meal prep containers: I love these ones but any 2-3 cup containers will work.
- This recipe is freezer-friendly for up to 2 months! I freeze right in my meal prep containers. Simply defrost overnight in the fridge, then heat in the microwave until steaming hot.

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup uncooked rice
- 1 head broccoli chopped into florets
- 3/4 lb lean ground turkey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced sodium)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- green onions (optional)
Cook rice according to package directions. Portion out into four 2-cup capacity meal prep containers and allow to cool.
Shake up all sauce ingredients and set aside.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 5 or so minutes, until slightly softened. Remove from heat and divide between meal prep containers.
Add turkey to pan. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for 5-8 minutes, until completely cooked through and no longer pink.
Make a space in the middle of the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, stirring up a bit.
Give the sauce a shake up and pour over the ground turkey and garlic/ginger. Stir until everything is mixed through, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Divide turkey/sauce mixture between the meal prep containers. Sprinkle with green onions if desired.
Once everything has cooled, store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Heat in the microwave until steaming hot, and enjoy!
