Ground Turkey Taco Bowls
Need a healthy quick lunch or a new meal prep recipe? Try these Ground Turkey Taco Bowls, they are one of my favorite meal prep recipes. With so many ways to customize these taco bowls, everyone is sure to find a version they love!
Meal prepping, especially on weeks you know are going to busy, saves so much time and stress. There is nothing worse than being short on time, HANGRY and nothing prepped to eat. I don't know about you, but this usually leads to me grabbing whatever unhealthy is nearby to eat.
I even make these Ground Turkey Taco Bowls for quick dinners. Whenever I serve these for dinner, I usually make a plethora of toppings (lots of veggies) so that everyone, even my picky eaters, has something healthy to mix into their taco bowls.
There are 4 main ingredients that make the base of these taco bowls. The rest of the ingredients are toppings and add-ins that are easy to customize to your liking. I like to have a lot of veggies for toppings and add-ins. The more veggies, the better!

I love cooking with ground turkey. It is a great lean meat that is perfect for healthy eating. Try out my Turkey and Spinach Quesadillas if you want a super quick and delicious lunch option. Or you can try out my Turkey Taco Soup, it's one of my favorites!
To meal prep these turkey tacos bowls start by adding a scoop of the cooked rice to your container. Then add in a scoop each of the cooked ground turkey and black beans. Cover with a lid and refrigerate.
In a separate container place your favorite toppings and add-ins. I like to keep these in a separate container that way I can reheat the turkey bowl base. After your turkey bowl base has been reheated, combine the toppings and add-ins. Enjoy!
These ground turkey bowls can be stored in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
This recipe makes 4 ground turkey tacos bowl servings. If serving for dinner you can easily adjust the recipe with the servings adjuster found in the recipe card below.
