A quick and easy taco bowl featuring ranch-seasoned ground turkey and a creamy peanut-ginger sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean, preferably 93% lean)
  • 2 tsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ½ cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2–3 tbsp warm water
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut-Ginger Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk while slowly adding warm water until smooth and pourable. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and break up with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle ranch seasoning over turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Increase heat if needed to evaporate excess moisture.
  3. Prepare the Base and Toppings: Warm cooked brown rice or quinoa. Chop shredded lettuce, dice tomatoes, slice green onions, rinse black beans, slice avocado, and shred cheddar cheese if using.
  4. Assemble the Taco Bowls: Spoon warm rice or quinoa into bowls. Layer ranch-seasoned turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, green onions, avocado slices, and cheddar cheese if desired.
  5. Drizzle and Serve: Generously drizzle peanut-ginger sauce over each bowl. Toss gently if preferred or serve with sauce on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Brown the turkey well to lock in juiciness and flavor. Use fresh ginger for best sauce flavor. Add water gradually to peanut sauce for desired consistency. Pre-cooked rotisserie turkey can be used as a shortcut. For dairy-free, omit cheddar or use plant-based cheese. Store sauce separately to prevent sogginess.
