Mexican Ground Turkey Bowls

I'm kinda excited about this post, I have pictures and a coordinating video!

This is a meal that I like to make once, sometimes even twice a week. It's just so easy and if I'm really not feeling cooking a big meal this is my go to.
Plus, it's very customizable! You can use any meat you like as well as any vegetables you like.
Basically, it's a throw what you have on hand and let it cook meal. Almost like a wonderpot, minus the soup part, because we like meat right?

What I started with was a pack of ground turkey 1 pound 93/7 ratio as a base meat. What I had on hand veggies wise was shredded carrots, onion, garlic, and shredded red cabbage.

For spices on the meat I used cayenne, garlic and onion powder, chili powder, cumin and a dash of oregano.

The cumin and chili powder on the meat is really what's going to make it smell like the taco seasoning that comes from the packs at the grocery store, without all the additives you wouldn't want.

I first cook the onion in about a tablespoon of EVOO then slowly add the rest of the veggies in.

After the zucchini was about halfway cooked I throw all the veggies from the pan onto a plate and add another tablespoon of EVOO and dump the turkey in the pan. Salt and pepper and then add the spices on top. 

Cook until all brown and then add veggies back in and that's pretty much it!

You can put the meat and veggies into a bowl and make your own kind of burrito bowl while adding whatever you like. I used guacamole, jalepeños, pico de gallo, salsa and romaine. Some more things to add to bulk it up even more would be rice, beans, and corn.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground turkey or any lean ground meat
half a medium sweet onion
3 small cloves of garlic
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1-2 cups of zucchini
1 teaspoon chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin 
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne plus more if you like heat
3 "dashes" of oregano
2 tablespoons of EVOO divided
Salt and pepper to taste

Optional:
Corn, beans, rice.

For serving:
Salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa

Start by heating a large skillet at medium heat, when heated add 1 tablespoon of EVOO and add the onion in. Once transparent add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add carrots and red cabbage cooking for no more than 3 minutes. Add zucchini and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Empty skillet of vegetables on plate, put skillet back on burner and add an additional 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Open turkey pack and salt and pepper before placing into skillet. Add spices on top and immediately start crumbling turkey. Cook for 7 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the plate of vegetables back in and mix thoroughly.

Place in bowl and top with desired toppings or enjoy in some tortillas!
