Turkey Burrito Bowl Meal Prep
This is a super easy meal to prep ahead of time!
The rice and meat can be cooked up to 3-5 days in advance. Cook them according to the recipe (meat) and package (rice) directions. Let them cool completely then wrap or seal in an airtight container in the fridge.
The veggies can be chopped in advance. You'll also want to store these in the fridge in an airtight container.
If you're making an special sauces, the same thing applies-let it cool completely if applicable, then store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
When you're ready to eat, heat the meat and rice in the microwave or preferable in an oven safe dish at 350F degrees in the oven until the desired temperature is reached.
Load up on the toppings and enjoy!
Storage and Reheating
For any leftovers or if prepping in advance, place the meat in an airtight container in the fridge, only after it's cooled completely.
It will last 3-5 days this way.
To reheat it, you can use the microwave, but my preferred method is to reheat it in the oven or on the stove.
For the stove, place it in a skillet and add a little bit of broth or water and stir frequently as it heats.
For the oven, place the turkey in an oven safe dish and place inside the oven at 350F degrees until the desired temperature is reached.
Top Tip
Don't skip seasoning the ground turkey! It makes the overall meal taste so flavorful, rather than just leaving it bland.
