These keto turkey taco bowls are a 20-minute meal-prep solution for busy lives. Combine flavorsome turkey mince with lightly toasted cauliflower rice, top with avocado and cilantro, and voilà: a hearty and nutritious lunch meal just like that! Get your delicious midday health hit in with minimal preparation and none of the hassle.
The beauty of this recipe is how fast and easy it is. Two main ingredients, one pan, and a boatload of tasty spices and herbs go into this 20-minute delight. The recipe makes for three portions but can easily be doubled for a week full of tasty turkey taco bowls.
Though they’re sure to become a staple in your weekly meal plan, the same ‘ol thing every day is bound to get old pretty quick. Thankfully, it’s absolutely zero effort to change this recipe up: swap out your protein with beef, chicken, or pork—or why not treat yourself to a salmon filet? If you’re over the cauliflower rice, try substituting for zucchini noodles or roasted broccoli. Experiment with your herbs and spices to get new, delicious flavors.
Whether you go with our recipe or your own variation, don’t forget the cherry on top (or in this case, the avocado). Avocado offers a cool, creamy sweetness to an otherwise spicy and savory dish. It’s also incredibly good for you, containing an excellent array of vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and healthy fats. Top it all off with a few cilantro leaves, and your week is sorted!
