Bolstered by the shared enthusiasm for Trader Joe’s recipes, I’m coming in hot with another super easy and satisfying one-pan meal using TJ’s finest ingredients…
Please give a warm welcome to these Trader Joe’s Stir-Fried Turkey and Rice Bowls!!
If you haven’t tried the TJ’s General Tsao Stir Fry sauce, you are in for a sweet and tangy, umami-laced treat. It transforms this simple (and nutritious!) medley of stir-fried brown rice, ground turkey, and shredded cabbage and carrots into a flavor-packed, crave-worthy meal worthy of a spot in the regular rotation. And it comes together in 20 minutes flat!
As always, don’t be afraid to make this meal your own! Any ground meat will work here, and feel free to substitute sliced mushrooms (shiitakes would be fun, or try portobellos for a more meaty flavor/texture) or tempeh/tofu to keep things vegetarian. Quinoa would be delicious instead of brown rice, and those doing a grain-free thing can get some cauliflower rice involved. Feeling wild? Put an egg on it! (Fried or jammy would be epic.) You know I love it when you do you.
For those who don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby (my deepest apologies), this recipe is easily recreated with leftover rice, any coleslaw mix, and your favorite stir fry sauce!
