Easy turkey taco bowl substitution ideas
- Ground turkey: Ground turkey lowers the fat content of this recipe, but ground beef would also taste great in this recipe. You could also use ground chicken or ground pork! Whatever you like best and whatever you have on hand.
- Taco seasoning: I use low-sodium taco seasoning packets. You could use a regular taco seasoning packet or even make your own at home. Here is the recipe I use for my own homemade seasoning.
- Brown rice: Instead of brown rice, use traditional white or a Basmati rice. You could also sub a cauliflower rice for even more vegetables!
- Grape tomatoes: If you don't have fresh grape tomatoes on hand, you could chop up some beefsteak or Roma, or even use a can of diced tomatoes.
- Optional toppings: Some suggestions I've thought of are salsa, Greek yogurt, sour cream, hot sauce, tortilla chips, jalapeños, or cheese!
