Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 2–3 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1.5 lb ground turkey
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 3 cups mixed vegetables (bell pepper, shredded carrots, snap peas)
- 4 cups cooked rice or greens
- Scallions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
- In a large skillet, brown ground turkey with oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté mixed vegetables in a separate pan for 3-4 minutes to keep them crisp.

Notes
For a deeper flavor, consider adding fish sauce or anchovy paste to the turkey. Resting the turkey before assembling helps keep vegetables fresh.
