Lower Carb Teriyaki. Turkey. Bowls. GIMME! *heart eyes*

 

Happy Tuesday guys! Just 5 more days until Christmas, eeeeeep! Pretty lights are everywhere, holiday music is in full effect (let’s be honest, that all started the day after Thanksgiving) and my bank account is in a constant plea for me to calm down. Ahhhhh, isn’t it great?

 

These delicious and easy Low Carb Teriyaki Turkey Bowls are ready in under 30 minutes and packed with tons of flavor! www.itscheatdayeveryday.com

I’m so happy because for the next two weeks, I get a vacation from work and even though I’m already missing my kiddos dearly, it feels great to soak up all that good ol’ family time! So good in fact, that I’ve been on the prowl lately for deliciously healthy recipes that are super quick and super easy.

 

Key word here is quick, ‘cus…you know, trying to optimize all of that family fun time.

 

With that being said…these Low Carb Teriyaki Turkey Bowls do not dissapoint. Quick? Yep. Easy? You know it. Delicious? uhhh BOWL LICKIN’ WORTHY.

These delicious and easy Low Carb Teriyaki Turkey Bowls are ready in under 30 minutes and packed with tons of flavor! www.itscheatdayeveryday.com

This entire recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, including the time that it takes to make that deliciously flavorful teriyaki sauce that you’re looking at below.

30 measly minutes for the whole shebang. I’m a HUGE fan of 90% lean ground turkey as it’s a super versatile healthy substitute to ground beef with great taste and texture.

It’s not only AMAZE in the recipe, it’s been a low fat lifesaver in other recipes too including:

  • Teriyaki Turkey Stuffed Peppers
  • Caramelized Mushroom Turkey Sliders
  • Crockpot Turkey Tortilla Soup

Oh and of course, my superhero veggie had to make its big debut in these Low Carb Teriyaki Turkey Bowls. Cauliflower rice…you’re the real MVP.

 

I simply used a head of cauliflower and pulsed it in the food processor a few times then fried with a little soy sauce. NOM GUYS.

These delicious and easy Low Carb Teriyaki Turkey bowls come together in under 30 minutes and are packed with mouth watering flavors!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Turkey:

  • 16oz 90% lean ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbs Hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup water 
  • 1 1/2 tbs cornstarch + 1/4 cup cold water

For the cauliflower rice:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • salt (to taste)

Instructions

    1. In a medium nonstick skillet, cook the ground turkey fully until it is brown. Set aside. Combine all of the ingredients except for the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to bubble slightly. Mix the cornstarch with the cold water to make a slurry and add to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce has reached a boil, remove from heat and add the pan of cooked ground turkey. Using a spoon, gently toss the turkey in the sauce to coat evenly.
    2. Add the washed cauliflower florets to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower had a crumby "rice-like" consistency. Spray a nonstick skillet and fry the cauliflower with the soy sauce until slightly tender, approx 5-7 minutes. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds (optional).

Notes

*Although I personally did not find the sauce to be too spicy, feel free to omit the red pepper flakes if you wish, or adjust to your taste!

      Hi Brianna, you could probably substitute the cornstarch for any kind of flour that you have on hand. Just keep adding by the tablespoonful until you reach the desired thickness for the sauce. (please note however, the nutrition info will not be accurate) :)

    If I use teriyaki sauce already prepared do I need anything other than the beef and rice contents?

    Totally a last minute meal but it looks delicious!! I don't have all the ingredients... think it would be ok with just normal teriyaki sauce?! 🤔 Thank you!!

    I have a question. My doctor gave me a diet that prevents me from eating honey. Can you think of a substitution for this? THANK YOU : D

      Hi Clare, Any type of maple syrup could be a great substitute. Also, agave nectar would work wonderfully in this recipe! :)

    What if I can't find hosin sauce?

      Hi Linda, I haven't made this recipe without hoisin sauce, so I'm unable to guarantee that the taste will still be good. Hoisin sauce is found at many traditional grocery stores. If you live near a Walmart, you'll find it down the Asian food aisle. If you still are unable to find some, there are a few easy recipes online to make it yourself 😊

    I am trying this tonight - when you say "combine all ingredients except cornstarch and cold water" in Step #1, does that include the 1/4 cup of soy sauce? Or is the 1/4 cup of soy sauce only used to cook the cauliflower in?

      Hi, Lindsay! The soy sauce is included in the first step for the sauce :)

    Totally delicious! 40 minutes from start to clean up. To me it tastes like an Mongolian beef Chinese dish, which is wonderful because I have cravings for that all the time and now I can just make this! Thanks for the recipe!

      I'm so happy that you liked it, Carla! I also agree that the taste is close in resemblance to Mongolian beef. It's like takeout without the guilt. YUM!

    You mention cornstarch in your recipe but not in the ingredients. How much cornstarch do you use?
