Cooking Steps
Prepare ingredients
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Rinse all produce. Roughly chop cilantro leaves, discarding stems. Halve lime. Mince garlic. Halve jalapeño lengthwise; using a knife tip, discard seeds and stem. Mince up to half of jalapeño; save remander for another use (we love it in guacamole!).
Cook brown rice
Season boiling water generously with salt (the amount of water isn’t indicated because you’ll drain the rice, just like pasta, when it's finished cooking). Stir in brown rice and cook until tender, 22-25 minutes. Drain and return to pot, off heat, then add half of cilantro and 1 squeeze lime juice and stir to combine. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
Season turkey
While rice cooks, in a large bowl, combine spice mix, apple cider vinegar, half of garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper as desired, then add turkey. Using your hands, mix well.
Brown turkey
Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add turkey and cook, breaking up, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Make slaw
While turkey browns, in a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, juice of ½ lime (or use less, as desired), remaining garlic, and ½ teaspoon water to fully combine. To bowl with dressing, add slaw mix, minced jalapeño (skip or use less for milder heat), ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Halve avocado and discard pit; carefully scoop out flesh, discarding skin, then thinly slice.
Plate turkey burrito bowls
Divide brown rice between serving bowls, then top with jalapeño-lime slaw, turkey, and avocado. Sprinkle over half of queso fresco and garnish with remaining cilantro. Dig in!
