Instructions

  1. Begin by rinsing the long grain rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until rice is tender, about 18-20 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add in the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned. Stir in garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, oregano, tomato sauce, and water; let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Once the rice is done cooking, remove from heat. Stir in vegan butter, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well so that all flavors blend together.
  4. In meal prep containers or bowls, start by adding a layer of cilantro lime rice. Top with the turkey filling followed by your choice of toppings such as chopped romaine lettuce, corn, black beans, avocado slices, red onion rings, green onion sprinkles, cilantro garnish, pico de gallo or guacamole.
