Watch How to Make This Recipe

The healthy ground turkey burrito bowls are full of lean protein from both ground turkey and beans, and packed with veggies. You can easily customize them with all your favorite toppings, which is the best part!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ground Turkey: you can use either lean ground turkey breast or go with ground turkey thighs. Both will work well in this recipe!

Spices & Aromatics: a combination of fresh onion, garlic, tomato paste and plenty of dried spices help to give the ground turkey some delicious flavor.

Chicken Broth: along with the tomato paste this helps to give the ground turkey a little sauce.

Arrowroot Starch: this is my secret ingredient to ensure that ground turkey has the right consistency. It thickens everything just slightly but not too much.

Black Beans: burrito bowls need beans, in my personal opinion, and black beans are my favorite.

Rice: make a batch of my cilantro lime coconut rice to complete these bowls!
