Tasty Tuesday – Turkey Taco Bowls (Meal Prep Friendly)

Shift Shop Mexican Recipe

Happy Tuesday! Sorry for the crickets over here – it’s been a whirlwind of a few weeks. More on that later! I hope you had a wonderful 3 day weekend. I definitely did. While I tend to work a little bit most weekends, I took the most of the weekend off and enjoyed extra family time and even a couple naps! Mike and I went to the UC Davis vs. San Diego State season opener football game on Saturday (he’s a UCD alum) and we babysat our niece Molly on Friday night for the first time (she’s nearly 3 months already!). We had a family dinner on Sunday night and went to the beach Monday.

When I did Shift Shop back in July I created these turkey taco bowls and loved them (these would only be allowed in week 1, as legumes are eliminated in week 2, but you could just skip the black beans).  They are really delicious, pretty easy to put together, and you can make multiple meals at once. When I made them I created 3 meals from these ingredients (I think I had some leftover turkey) but based on what portions you do, you could make more or less. If your’e in the lowest bracket, you could easily make 4 bowls from this and they are also 21 Day Fix approved.

Speaking of Shift Shop and 21 Day Fix, my next 3 week virtual accountability group starts September 18th! You’ll complete a fitness (30 minute a day average) and nutrition program along with support from me and your fellow challengers. It’s always a ton of fun! Spots will be full by the end of the week, so be sure to contact me for more info and/or to sign up!

Turkey Taco Bowls

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1.5 pounds lean ground turkey
  • Taco seasoning (I use Trader Joe’s brand)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups broccoli
  • 3/4 avocado
  • Salsa of choice

DIRECTIONS

21 Day Fix Mexican Recipe

  1. I’m a multi-tasker, even when it comes to cooking: Get out two large sauté pans. Brown the turkey and add the taco seasoning once it’s nearly cooked through and no pink remains. Meanwhile in the other pan sauté the olive oil with the onion, zucchini and bell peppers until the veggies are soft (you could also add kale or spinach to this).
  2. Microwave the sweet potatoes until they are soft and cut into cubes (3 minutes or so).
  3. Steam the broccoli.
  4. Once everything is ready, portion them out using your color-coded containers: 1-2 red containers of turkey (0.75-1.5 cup), 1 yellow container sweet potato (1/2 cup), 1 yellow container black beans (1/2 cup), 1 green container of the sautéed veggies (1 cup), and 1 green container of broccoli (1 cup). Serve with 1/4 avocado (blue container) and salsa!

21 DAY FIX/SHIFT SHOP CONTAINER COUNT (PER BOWL):

    As a vegetarian, I wonder what I could use instead of turkey!? It might even be delicious with just the beans as protein!

      I use some of the veggie crumbles they work well

      Yeah I’d say either tempeh or just omit the turkey all together!

    Looks delicious! And you could get so creative with this, too. Tofu or extra beans, different animal proteins. Yum!

      Yes definitely! I also think tempeh would be good.

    I do not plan ahead…I used to when the three kids were all younger (and I was home with them), but that’s one of those routines that kind of faded over time. My favorite “make ahead” meal is leftovers LOL I know, leftovers are kind of cheating, but a lot of main dinners have way too much for one sitting, so I have that in mind when I make the food. We’re down to one child left at home (and she does NOT do leftovers), so we’re able to get a couple extra servings out of the dinners.

      I’m usually like the myself, actually! I don’t tend to do make-ahead stuff, but this one is super easy. It actually worked best when my husband was out of town – otherwise this would only make 1 meal for the two of us 🙁

    The biggest problem I have is figuring out how things fit into the containers when I make a meal with more than one serving.

      I just dump it out and then re-fill it! Is that what you mean?

    So simple and so easy to prep ahead of time! I’d also add jalapeno ?

    These look delicious! I’ve recently starting trying to use more ground turkey instead of always relying on ground beef. Its amazing how much healthier it is for you.
