- Brown the turkey. Heat a skillet with a little oil and add ground turkey, cooking until no longer pink.
- Add flavor builders. Toss in chopped onion and garlic, or sprinkle in onion and garlic powder if rushed. Season with salt and pepper.

Feel free to customize the bowl based on what you have on hand. Leftovers work great for lunch, and don’t hesitate to mix and match sauces and toppings.
