A simple, wholesome meal prep bowl with just five ingredients that delivers bold flavor and satisfying texture, perfect for busy weekdays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey
  • 4 cups (600 g) mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and chop about 4 cups (600 g) of mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, drizzle the chopped veggies with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil, then sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender with browned edges.
  5. While the veggies roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey. Season with remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Break up with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8–10 minutes.
  6. Let the veggies cool slightly, then divide the turkey and veggies evenly into meal prep containers.
  7. Let the bowls cool completely before sealing and refrigerating. Store for up to 4 days.

Notes

If turkey dries out while cooking, add a splash of water or chicken broth to keep it juicy. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting. Let cooked ingredients cool before sealing containers to prevent condensation. Optional additions include fresh lemon juice or parsley for brightness and color.
