- 2 tablespoons honey

- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the turkey and vegetables.
- Cook the Ground Turkey: Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the pan and cook until browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break it up.

- Assemble Bowls: Spoon the turkey mixture over 2 cups of cooked rice divided among four bowls.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each bowl with sliced green onions, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken or beef for turkey if preferred.
- Add extra vegetables like carrots or snap peas for more crunch and nutrition.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level.
