Turkey Teriyaki Rice Bowl
Turkey is not just for Christmas. I like to cook with turkey whenever I can for the low fat protein and high tryptophan levels.
This recipe works great with leftover turkey from Christmas or Thanksgiving too. It is a different way to use turkey and you can spice it up if you like.
This recipe is a quick one-pot supper, done in a few minutes and so tasty. As per all my recipes, feel free to add any other vegetables to the dish with whatever you have in the fridge. In this recipe, I have also added an egg for an extra protein. You can of course pimp it up by adding some chilli flakes, fresh chillis or chilli sauce to make it spicy too.
You can have it on rice or your own favourite grain. A few ideas of alternative grains you can use are
- Millett, low alkali food or mix in millet with your rice
- quinoa, higher protein but higher calories
- amaranth
- red rice
- wild rice
To balance out the meal, I added some pak choi which is simply blanched and seasoned with some soy sauce and sesame oil.
Do try it, it’s quick to cook, using a few simple ingredients, high protein and very tasty.
