Have you noticed that I’m having a good time creating dinner bowls lately? These are becoming one of my favorite ways to make an impromptu dinner. All I need to do is have leftover rice, and I can throw together the meal with whatever needs to be used up in the fridge or the produce drawer.
The last few peppers from my garden? Done! A California avocado that is about to be one day too far gone? Done! Hatch chiles, which are just about to vamoose for the season? Done! A pound of a Foster Farms organic ground turkey? Done!
Wait, let’s back up to that last ingredient. Foster Farms, the company you associate with chicken, has branched out into turkey territory, and has done it the right way, with an organic ground turkey that is everything you want it to be — a light, lean source of protein, a perfect substitute in your tacos, spaghetti, lettuce wraps and burgers. It’s USDA-certified organic, raised free-range on organic land and organic vegetarian feed – with no antibiotics ever, no added hormones, steroids or artificial enhancers.
That works for me.
Giveaway!
In fact, I am giving away some FREE organic ground turkey, just so you can have a good dinner bowl like this. (Or some turkey chili, or turkey tacos, or turkey lettuce wraps, or turkey whatever-you-fancy. See some more turkey ideas here on their Pinterest board.) Look right after the recipe for how to win turkey. Because you want turkey; you do.
What do you think of my new turkey dinner bowl?
Ground turkey makes an easy, healthy Mexican-inflected filling amped up by Hatch chiles and peppers and onions.
Ingredients
- Turkey mixture
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 a large red onion, diced
- 2 big pinches kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pound Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey Breast
- 5 mild Hatch chiles, roasted, seeded and diced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Hatch chile powder (I used Melissa's Produce ground Hatch Chile powder)
- .
- Bowl assembly
- Hot cooked brown rice (I used Planet Rice Sprouted California Blonde Rice)
- Jarred Hatch chile salsa (I used Melissa's Produce Hatch Salsa in a jar)
- Pico de gallo
- 1 avocado, diced
- Garnish: Mexican pickled vegetables
Directions
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add pepper, onion, salt and cumin and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often. Add turkey, breaking clumps up with a wooden spoon. Sauté until turkey loses its pink tone, another 5 minutes or so. Add Hatch chiles and chile powder and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- To assemble bowls: Add a layer of rice to the bottom of a wide, flat bowl. Top with some turkey mixture, some salsa, some pico de gallo and finally, avocado chunks. Garnish with Mexican pickled vegetables for color and spark.
- Serves 4.
