Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and fresh lime juice until smooth. Adjust sriracha to your spice level.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground turkey, breaking it apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Pour in soy sauce, salt, and pepper, stir for 1-2 minutes to enhance flavors.
  5. Add chopped red bell pepper, sliced carrots, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Reduce heat to low, pour half of the bang bang sauce over turkey-vegetable mixture, stir to coat and heat through for 2 minutes.
  7. Scoop jasmine rice into bowls, top with turkey-vegetable mixture, and drizzle with remaining bang bang sauce.
  8. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
