When I serve this dish for supper, I offer it as a create-your-own-bowl experience. The kids love it because they get to choose exactly what goes on their plate, and the adults appreciate the versatility. If we’re not in the mood for carbs, we enjoy it over a bed of fresh lettuce as a salad instead of over rice. This is also a perfect light summer meal.

We love bowls in our family. Poke bowls, acai bowls, cereal bowls, anything in a bowl with toppings is really fun for us. A turkey bowl, however, is something we’ve never tried before, so of course I was curious…

SERVES 4–6

• 2 lbs (910 g) ground turkey

  I used ground beef.

• 1 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 Tbsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp coriander
  I skipped this.
• I added a nice sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper over each burger.

Hot Mayo

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 Tbsp hot sauce
• 1 Tbsp honey (optional)

Optional Toppings

• cooked rice
• lettuce
• diced mango
• sliced avocado
• shredded cabbage
• shredded carrots
• corn with herbs (use your preferred herbs)
• sliced chili pepper
• snap peas
• pumpkin seeds

  ...I used shredded carrots, diced avocado, canned corn, 
  and sautéed snap peas, with rice as the base.

In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, cumin, and coriander. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
