Instructions

Prep Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, add all the ingredients for the bang bang sauce. Whisk them well to combine. Adjust the flavor by adding more sriracha for spice or cutting it with extra honey or sweet chili sauce. Chill until ready to serve.
Prepare the Ground Turkey Mixture: Heat a drizzle of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s glistening, add the ground turkey and break it into smaller pieces. Cook until the turkey is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Lower the heat to medium-low and add in the remaining ingredients, except for the cornstarch. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Thicken the Mixture: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the turkey mixture and stir to combine. Just before serving, consider stirring in about 2 tablespoons of the bang bang sauce into the meat for extra flavor (this step is optional).
Assemble Rice Bowls: Start with rice as the base, add your favorite veggies, then spoon the ground turkey mixture on top. Drizzle more bang bang sauce over everything and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Serve immediately while warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
