Notes

Meal Prep: Prepare turkey, rice, and toppings ahead of time for an easy meal throughout the week.

Substitutions: Use brown rice, ground chicken, or tofu as alternatives.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Avoid adding fresh toppings like avocado until ready to serve.

Spice it Up: Add jalapeños or spicy salsa for a fiery kick.
