Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Rinse rice or quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine grains, water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes for rice or 12 to 15 minutes for quinoa, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula. Sprinkle in smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes if using, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until turkey is browned and cooked through.
- Divide cooked grains among four bowls. Top each with a portion of seasoned turkey and roasted vegetables.
- Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro or parsley, avocado slices, and a wedge of lime if desired.
