Teriyaki Chicken is normally not the healthiest option. It can be fried and made with a high sugar sauce. While it can be a great source of protein, it is often higher in fat and calories.
These teriyaki turkey rice bowls are made with much healthier ingredients such as a lower sugar sauce, ground turkey, and cauliflower rice.

How to make the Turkey Teriyaki Cauliflower Rice Bowls:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat and add the ground turkey to the pan. Cook until the meat starts to brown and is crumbling.
- Add to the pan the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell peppers and cook until the turkey is well browned and the vegetables are soft, for about 5- 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add a pinch of sea salt, teriyaki aminos, and coconut aminos and mix well.
- Now it’s time to assemble your rice bowls; add the cooked cauliflower rice to each bowl while it’s still warm. Top each bowl with the teriyaki turkey mixture over the cauliflower rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
How to make Cauliflower Rice:
One of the easiest ways to make cauliflower rice is to pulse the cauliflower florets in your food processor a few times until they resemble rice. You can make a big batch and keep it in the freezer in a zip lock bag and that way you will always have cauliflower rice handy for your turkey teriyaki rice bowl or any other low carb recipe that calls for cauliflower rice.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can also grate the cauliflower florets, however, this might take ages and it’s quite messy as well.
If none of these options appeals to you, the next (and best) option is to buy ready made cauliflower rice from your local supermarket. You can find it in the freezer section. At only 5 grams of carbs per cup and only 25 calories, cauliflower rice is your best ally in your low-carb kitchen.
