Notes

 
If using for meal prep, do not assemble into bowls. Add the rice, seasoned ground turkey meat, and shredded carrots to your containers and cover with lids. 
Store cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and cilantro separately for best freshness.
When ready to eat, heat the rice, meat, and carrot mixture. Add the remaining vegetables and drizzle with the sriracha sauce. 
 
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
