Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 package Trader Joe’s Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix
  • ½ tablespoon lime zest (zest of about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (juice of about 2 limes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 lb cauliflower rice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large pan heat olive oil. Add turkey to the pan and brown the turkey until almost completely cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Once turkey is browned, stir in chopped veggie mixture, lime juice, coconut aminos and spices and sauté until combined. Cover and stir occasionally, until veggies start to soften, about another 10 minutes.
  • Serve over steamed cauliflower rice or a salad if whole 30, brown rice/quinoa if not or just eat as is!

Notes

Substitutions for this recipe:
  • Turkey: You can sub ground turkey with ground beef or ground chicken.
  • Vegetables- If you can't get this Healthy 8 mix from Trader Joe's you can use a mix of your own veggies! Chop Carrots, peppers, celery, and cabbage and you should be good. Or you can follow this tutorial on how to make your own at home.
  • Cauliflower Rice: You can sub cauliflower rice with regular rice or quinoa. I like to do a mix of half cauliflower rice, half regular rice
  • Spices: If you like spicy food add a dash of red pepper flakes
  • Coconut Aminos: You can sub coconut aminos for low sodium soy sauce or bragg's liquid aminos. If you use liquid aminos, use half the amount as they are extremely salty.
